Letterpress #2

There are a lot of really amazing videos on letterpress out there, it really is such an amazing process. I found this video by Gestalten TV about Studio on fire just extraordinary. The process for him is a little different, he is using flexograph plates instead of hand setting the type in metal like the classic ones. But this is what happens where I work so I find it interesting to go through the whole process on a much smaller scale. Also the designs!! oh the designs!

For this particular assignment i set it up as a two colour design, just so i could have a go at printing it on our risograph!
(which I certainly plan to tell you more about .. soon.)  These are some examples of the kind of qualities you get in the printing... i just love it! I know those photos arn't particularly good, sorry about that. But i do plan to do alot more risoposting. I hang out with my riso alot so its bound to pop-up left right and centre.
