Typography Workshop
On Thursday I had two sessions, one of which was the VCT session and the other a Letterpress introduction.
The VCT sessions purpose to present a piece of work that had both Text and Image, then talk about why we chose this particular piece. The group then asked questions and discussed it fairly in depth. Some interesting debates arose about the modification of typefaces and whether it is morally correct to do so. Unfortunately only about 2/3 of the class could talk about their choice as we discussed so much, which is a good outcome. I will be talking about mine next week.
The Letterpress introduction was really interesting, although it was cut short by a fire alarm. We set our own names and had a go on the proofing press. Then we started to create a grid on which to place a larger piece of work. This is going to be concluded next week and I will post some pictures and progress then.
