I’m Michael Faber, a freelance graphic designer in Durham, North Carolina with an interest in print design, branding, typography, photography, dogs, cooking, letterpress, and a bunch of other goodness. I love talking design so if you have a project in mind or just want to chat about the relative merits of postmodernist typography or traditional Southern cuisine (I’m a Western NC barbeque guy - please don’t hold it against me), feel free to contact me.

The DOUGHMAN is for lazy people too

Personal Work: Lo-Lai Poster
I could probably write a thousand word screed on the history, rules, and strategy behind this epic game, but I’ll keep it short for now. Basically lo-lai is a game invented at Duke (where I went to college) about 50 years ago and is still played heartily today. It’s simple to learn, easy to play, [...]
Letterpress Business Cards with Horse & Buggy Press
I’ve always been fascinated with letterpress so when I realized that we had a studio right here in downtown Durham with a couple of Vandercook presses, I knew I had to find a way to learn the craft myself. Luckily, Dave Wofford of Horse & Buggy Press is not only a very talented designer and [...]
