Workshop 25/2/2011: letterpress!

I was always interested in learning about letterpress, because I love the printing result more than the digital one. This "old school" style gives to my work something unique  and new every time! Unfortunately, in my previous university I didn't have the opportunity to attend lessons in letterpress, so when I learnt for this workshop in Birmingham City University I didn't want to lose this chance! Take a look of the process through the above photos!

Linotype: the film

An informal documentary about Linotype typecasting machine. An extremely complicated machine, which disappeared over the years, but some people are still interested in that! Unfortunately, we are used in writing and printing letters without knowing the process...
