Wondering what the direct mail landscape is looking like these days. With the influx of digital communication, people are a bit overwhelmed. The answer? direct mail. It is personal, emotional, and makes the connection. Check out this article! https://t.co/NIMJI6DaGY #directmail
We decided to get a little philosophical and in a way that reflects who we are at Journeyman Press.
“You never know when a moment and a few sincere words can have an impact on a life.” – Zig Ziglar
Kindness matters!
Print or Digital???
The printed word is powerful in a way that words on a computer screen can’t be. As you hold a postcard mailer in your hand, its message is more immediate to you than any of the multitude of online advertisements that you see on a daily basis. #directmail, #ink

Talk about sharing! During the 1936 Berlin Games, two Japanese pole-vaulters tied for second place. Instead of competing again, they cut the silver and bronze medals in half and fused the two different halves together so that each of them had a half-silver and half-bronze medal.
Continuing with our fun Olympic facts, did you know that Tarzan competed in the Olympics: Johnny Weissmuller, an athlete-turned-actor who played Tarzan in 12 movies, won five gold medals in swimming in the 1920s. Pretty cool! #disrupt, #print, #ink, #athletic
Baron Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympic Movement, designed the five-ringed symbol. He specifically chose the colors blue, green, yellow, black, and red because at least one of those colors appeared on all the national flags of the world. #color, #PMS,#ink,#print
Did you know that every Olympics has a specific motto? This year's motto seems very appropriate "United by Emotion". Perhaps the wonderful examples being shown by the athletes will help soften the world a bit! #peoplecentric, customercentric,#love, kind, #emotion, #innovation
The original Olympics began in 776 B.C. as part of an Ancient Greek festival, which celebrated Zeus, the Greek God of sky and weather. The whole competition lasted for up to six months, and included games like wrestling, boxing, long jump, javelin, discus and chariot racing. #ink
Only two people have ever won gold medals during the Summer and Winter Olympics. Gillis Grafstrom and Eddie Eagan hold this distinction. Grafstrom, from Sweden, won gold in figure skating in the 1920 Summer Olympics as well as the 1924 and 1928 Winter Games.
Did you know that Olympic gold medals are made of silver. At today's gold prices it would cost $32,000 if made of gold. The medals for the Toyko were made from 80,000 tons of recycled electronics. Pretty cool right? #recycle, #Olympics, innovation, #ink, #print
Art and the Olympics.
In Ancient Greece, art and sport were considered perfect partners. The ideal was to achieve harmony with the body and the mind. With the birth of the modern Olympic in 1896, de Coubertin advocated for an alliance “among athletes, artists, and spectators”.
Everything seems to be connected! Since it is the start of the Olympics, we wondered about the connection of printing, graphic design and sports - turns out there is a lot. Check out this video. #olympics, @innovation, #printing, #competition

There is comfort in the notion of the printed word. Perhaps the idea of holding a printed book or magazine and reading brings peace and a little joy to one's day. All of us at Journeyman Press believe that the craft of printing continues - it just looks a bit different. #printing
Print is Memorable!
Contrary to what you might believe, paper isn’t as harmful as you would imagine. According to Two Sides, forests providing wood for making paper, have been growing exponentially. 72% of paper and packaging is recycled into new products. #print
Here's a cool thought - printed material allows us to reach multiple generations! It speaks across cultures and boundaries. People think that younger generations are so addicted to their screens that they’re no longer reading print. Not true. Printing builds trust! #jpress.
