Coming soon
Set a line you love over a photograph, and give it to someone.
A small studio for words and pictures, made to be given rather than posted. The type is being set; we open soon.
Leave the light on. Somebody is nearly home.
What to expect
On the workbench, and what comes after
-
Compose
A type cabinet over photography. Bring your own picture or borrow one from the library, then set your words in a small drawer of faces, each chosen because it still reads well on the day it arrives.
-
Give and receive
Every piece is addressed to one person. They get a private link and a dedication in your own hand, and opening it feels closer to an envelope than an app. They decide whether to keep it, hang it, or pass one on.
-
The Wall
The pieces people chose to hang, dedications left on. Not a feed, more a room: evidence that people were kind to each other this week.
-
Editions Later
Each piece keeps its lineage: whose photograph, whose words, who set it again for someone else. After that, prints, made large enough for a wall of your own.
A short brief
Most positive quotes online are said to nobody in particular. A good line lands hardest when it is meant for one person, set with care over a photograph that means something to you both.
Positive Quote is a small press for exactly that.
