Prop Card

This year I was accepted as a member of the Amalgamated Printers Association so the first thing I had to do was update my prop (proprietor’s) card to meet the membership requirements. I initially planned at least two colors and the APA logo, but a perfect storm of press and other issues made it necessary to simplify the project. I used the Craftsmen Imperial 5×8. Yes, I also satisfied having my first typo, it’s “men” not “man”. I can never keep that straight so with the Superior “men” and Imperial “man” one of them was sure to be right. Clue, they were not made by Sears, which made the Craftsman brand.

Colophon: Newcomer… Colwell Handletter 18pt / artist… Colwell Handletter 10pt / the… Colwell Handletter Italic 18pt / Dancing… Cooper Black 18pt / 129 Old… Alt Gothic #1 12pt / Kelsey… Colwell Handletter 12pt

Paper: French Paper Poptone Blu Raspberry 100# Cover / Ink: Gray custom mixed.

The dancing rainbow graphic was a drawing of mine of the Press’ namsake and had made into a cut in the early days over fifty years ago. (see Dancing Rainbow History)

My Website

This is my web site. It’s all about me, well let’s say FOR me. If it seems self-centered it is, but I don’t mean it in a way to build my ego… just that it serves my purposes to organize my thoughts and web resources. Feel free to read it, but always remember I didn’t write it for you or to promote myself or any of my ideas, just to put them somewhere that I can find them and rearrange them in an attempt to make sense of my own existence and purpose.
