The Graphic Touch

This template was designed awhile back as a tool to introduce letterpress through technology. The eNewsletter offers a "Cut of the Month", or engraved pieces of vintage artwork from days gone by. Keith (aka: The Cranky Pressman) of The Graphic Touch pulls a proof, scans them in at 600dpi and makes them available for download. See what Keith is up to visit the Cranky Pressman.
