It's very exciting to log in and see these 10 excellent posts so far! I'm sure I speak for Wing as well in saying can't wait to read the rest of them.
So for the next three weeks or so you'll be focussed on developing a response to the Letterpress Studio Brief. For your reference and as a reminder of what it is all about...
Project 1: Letterpress postcards
Project 1 will be designed and ‘editioned’ using printing types, this will allow you to explore the conventions of typographic design in relation to its historical production, and experiment with typographic image-making, print techniques and materials. Letterpress design and printing fosters a range of transferable skills, which apply to digital type composition and will be used in projects 2 and 3.
In ‘Letterpress Postcards’ you will engage with notions of ‘typographic voice’ and specialist type history, you are asked to produce a ‘postcard’ that examines a specific typeface, type-style, or a typographer. The postcard will be a single-colour design printed on two sides, that demonstrates an advanced knowledge of display typography, and an understanding of the history, design, and theory surrounding your chosen types.
Studio Research Task 2 (SR2): There is of Self- Directed Research this week as well. Wing will elaborate on this in the studio.
Refine selected design solution for discussion and review in next class.
