Letterpress session 1

This was my first experience using letterpress technique. I've heard from other people how interesting it was!
This week we didn't delve into anything too complicated, we simply put together our names using 12pt Gilmore Sans.

Some key words to takeaway:

measure - the width of a column

ligature - the combination of two graphemes to make a glyph





















Display type - headline

Text type

Some images from the day:










































The final outcome of this session was to produce a proof to remove any errors arranging the characters.














As a continuation of this workshop by next week we need to bring some meaning to the colour blue and illustrate it through type!
