Some images of a mock-up of a booklet I have designed for my latest project. Entitled 'Patterns' it explores the importance of mathematics - most significantly the Fibonacci sequence and the Golden Ratio - in nature. The final piece will be properly bound  (so no tape will be visible) and printed on translucent stock so that the pages form layers of type, shapes  and patterns. I intend to produce a cover with letterpressed type. Really pleased with the results so far; lets just hope the final outcome actually prints successfully!

Printed and Published

The Special Collections area at Sir Kenneth Green Library hosted an exhibition of book design and letterpress printing from Bracketpress (2005-10). The collection comprised of printed books, pamphlets, commercial designs and printed matter, all of which had been produced using traditional printing methods. The pieces were beautiful; I am a big fan of this style of work, as type and image seems a lot more considered and well-presented when it is printed using traditional letterpress techniques rather than digital methods. They seem far more special and precious. Here are some of my favourite pieces:


No. 26: Love Bold and in CAPS [of course], letterpressed postcard:

Nobody's Child Penny Rimbaud, pamphlet:

This Crippled Flesh by Penny Rimbaud, book:

letterpressed.

Ok so these are fairly similar to a previous post; but here are some images of the developments I have made to my book binding project. I took my idea into letterpress and hand printed the statements onto some really gorgeous stock. I really like how delicate and precious they now look.
