Moon Map Letterpress Print - Silver/Black

A map of the moon!

Due to a lack of atmosphere, the moon welcomes all asteroids to smash into its surface, creating a fantastic texture. As our telescopic technology progressed, each teeny crater was named for a number of things, such as famous astrologers and Greek Gods.

Archie selected the largest/most interestingly named craters to label, and has given a nod to their multitude by including 100s others.

This is an accurate map based on a variety of source maps and documents.

ABOUT THE IDEA

Information is more fun to read when it's beautiful. Archie designed these charts and maps with hours of research, reassembling data into a brain-friendly aesthetic. The information is edited 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. 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.
