For our final project we printed using a design of our own. We used Adobe Illustrator to create vector art that was then sent to a vender to create a type-high block with our artwork. We set up our press and printed away!
This project explored more experimentation with typesetting, ink and color. "Story" for each print was unmethodical and sporadic. Color, thickness and patterning was done at random to create a textural look.
This first assignment taught the basics of setting type, measuring, inking and proper clean up and care for the studio supplies. Setting type for a sarcastic note on business cards was the ideal way to start off the semester.
