A Couple of Questions for Tiger in a Jar

Tiger in a Jar is Matt and Julie, a husband and wife duo who are truly renaissance creative souls. They make videos, plan parties, take beautiful photos, and hunt for vintage home decor. Their stop motion animated videos are my favorite. They’re so delicate, and precious, and you can tell that so much love was put into them, whether they’re meant to document something or just simply be a creative expression.

The interview (+ many videos) behind the cut…

A Couple of Questions for enormouschampion

enormouschampion is a collaboration between Jordan Provost and Jason Wong that results in beautifully designed cards, prints, and other paper goods. Their latest project together is a brand new line of e-greeting cards, which just debuted over at Paperless Post.

In addition to working on enormouschampion, each of them has their own independent endeavor: Jordan is a photographer, and Jason is one of the typographic wizards behind Friends of Type.

On to the interview: Jordan and Jason of enormouschampion…

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…
