Welcome to Week 3 :) I hope you had a great weekend!

It's already clear I think, that already we have developed a really entertaining, comprehensive and informative compendium of information about typefaces that enjoy popular currency in graphic design and publishing contexts. The imagery is vibrant and the examples are relevant to our study area. Well done everyone!

Wondering how Letterpress relates to contemporary deployment of type? We know letterpress is kind of cool/trendy in recent years - sort of like the typographic equivalent of vinyl records - but how might it link to a more hi-tech application of typography. Have a look at this project on the crowdfunding website Kickstarter - very interesting...



The focus of this week is right on getting to grips with your design and the letterpress process in the studio. As expressed in the course notes it says:

Studio: Letterpress technique. Continue composition and printing of letterpress booklet.
Self-Directed: Refine selected designs for printing in next class.

Have a great week!

PS: If anyone is having trouble with the blog, not getting updates etc. (or any other aspect of the studio) please do get in touch so we can sort you out :)
