In the imaginary land of "Saltwater"...

In "Saltwater"...
For a text generation exercise in Letterpress class today, I got to make up an imaginary land called "Saltwater," envision what customs they would have and set it in movable type for printing.

There would be dancing in the rain and kissing in trees. People would travel by teleportation or hot air balloon. There would be lots of fields full of perfect weeds for laying in to watch clouds or stars. Every 12th of the month, everyone would tell someone they cared about exactly how they felt.

LoveLetterPress

I'm back at school, starting out winter term! So far they've been pretty good classes; I can tell they'll all be a ton of work, but no definite unreasonable demands! Right now I am SUPER EXCITED about my Letterpress class!! I don't think I've been in a room with 18 other typography geeks before! There are 3 draft presses and 3 Vandercook presses and cabinets and cabinets full of type! Everything is organized by typeface and point size and in these ridiculously heavy cases! It was wonderful overload! We have free reign in the studio outside class time, so thats pretty exciting to me! This will be a good term..
