Archie's Press - Moon Map Print

“One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”. But before we ever landed on the moon, millions of asteroids slammed into it. Now each of those tiny craters has a name, as do the large “seas” that form the most recognizable shapes on the bright side of the moon.

ABOUT THE IDEA
Information is more fun to read when it's beautiful. Archie's Press designed these charts and maps with hours of research, reassembling data into a brain-friendly aesthetic. They edit the information significantly, avoiding the "dazzle" effect which occurs when our eyes are battered with too much information. Letterpress makes it even more gorgeous.

ABOUT LETTERPRESS PRINTING
Letterpress is a very complicated and expensive printing method that I am obsessed with. All letterpress prints are slammed with 600 pounds of pressure, creating a deep, tactile texture. The ink gets embedded into the thick soft paper so it won't fade within your lifetime. Read more about letterpress printing here.
