Portfolio—Typography: Letterpress workshop.
Bloody Banana Bender
Compared to setting type in preparation for printing on a letterpress, typing on a computer may be quicker and more efficient. However, something seems to get lost between the keyboard and the screen. Is it the interaction with physical letters, the mixing of the ink or the act of operating a printing machine myself? I can't quite put my finger on it. But I can say, that the imprint of the letters on the thick paper, the smell of the ink and the venue (The Bacon Factory, Brisbane), filled with printing history, made this a project to remember.
