Letterpress workshop

We had a Letterpress workshop...and it was great! I almost called my old typography teacher to tell him, but I suddenly remembered that it's about 7 years since I've seen him...

Everybody had to choose a typograpichal word, and present the word on an A5 poster. I picked WEIGHT, which means different thicknesses (light, bold+++), but also the variation between for example the hairlines in different fonts. To show this, I found different types who had different ticknesses and hairlines, and tilted it, so it looked like it was "falling", the weight was unstable. This is not the finished result:


The colours is so nice...better than the printed one...
