Independent small press

A sharper shelf for strange books.

Sourdough Press now has its own visual language: printed paper, hard black rules, flat house artwork, and a catalog-first layout that does not depend on the Sebastian Michaels site for mood or assets.

Catalog shelves

Books need structure before they need spectacle.

Each card uses purpose-built Sourdough Press artwork and shared metadata, so the shelf can grow without turning into a scattered image dump.

Identity reset

Separate from the author site on purpose.

The press should not look like Sebastian Michaels with a new logo. This version removes the reused atmospheric photos and replaces them with a graphic house system that feels more like an independent catalog, print desk, and edition shop.

  • New Sourdough Press banners, covers, mark, and social image.
  • Flat editorial visuals instead of recycled mood photography.
  • Harder contrast, less mist, cleaner cards, and stronger hierarchy.
  • Aesthetic direction that can expand beyond one author.
