A Couple of Questions for Elevated Press

In 2003 Peter Baker founded the design studio Elevated Works, under the blue line elevated train in Chicago. Five years later, he joined forces with his fiancée, Michelle, to print their wedding invitations, and their printmaking arm Elevated Press came to life. Really beautiful letterpressed prints and paper goods come off of the three presses housed in their Ann Arbor studio.

Two things we didn’t know before doing this interview: one, Pete takes gorgeous photographs (I mean, SERIOUSLY gorgeous), and two, the couple is expecting their first child in July!! We hope to see little him or her manning their craft fair tables later in the year. Gotta earn your keep, kid!

And now, our interview with Pete and Michelle Baker of Elevated Press…

A Couple of Questions for Two Arms

We discovered Two Arms from their amazing posters for Ra Ra Riot, one of our favorite bands. Through this interview, we’ve come to find out that they’re also hilarious and just plain old good people.  At the end of their interview, they added: “we’re beside ourselves whenever we get a mention on a blog, a shoutout from a friend or a nice email. It truly helps when we get support from colleagues and fans. It definitely adds fuel
to the fire to keep rocking out with great design and cool posters. We can’t thank people enough for checking out our website or following up with what we’re trying to do. It’s the biggest compliment we can get.” Seriously, don’t you want to send them cookies??

Karen Goheen and Mike Tabie design and print all their texture-y goodness out of Brooklyn, but they’re both “OG Floridians”. Their contribution to the 50 and 50 State Mottos Project is one of our faves so far.
