Those Letters Won't Draw Themselves
I designed this quirky letterpress piece for the group exhibition, I’d Letterpress The Shit Out Of That!. The show’s irreverent theme, which combines lettering and letterpress with each designers’ expletive filled expressions, was devised in an airport departure lounge.
I decided that for the sake of authenticity I would draw the comic lettering and decoration in pencil and ink and avoid using the computer. I knew that the little imperfections and wobbles would be rounded out when printed and increase the tactile quality of the final print.
Swearing was encouraged!
