My first idea was to look at printing code: My idea was to have the front cover design on the back cover, like proof patterns on cartons.

pattern experiments

LINES3

I created these patterns created using repeated sentences.

I photocopied and re-photocopied changing the scale and density settings to get this effect.

I visited printer companies to investigate how their printing structures work. I also looked at other facilities around university.

Letterpress project

Tuesday, February 1st, 2011

I wanted to find out what font was contained in each case, as there are no font labels, so I started out by printing 3/4 letters from each case. The below image is a selection.

DSCN8047

The aim of this project is to produce a catalogue of Bath Spa Letterpress wooden facilites and another volume demonstrating what is possible with the facilites. With this information re-orgranise the case structure. I will then try and identify the font using “whatthefont”

Process font

font-04

After speaking to a technition, I realised that cutting out the fine details with the laser cutter would be impossible and a fire risk! I therefore decided to turn the image into a negative, so that the letterpress texture could be rasterised leaving the raised print.

font-02

The printed laser cut letterforms worked well. The plywood grain is noticeable aiding the font.

font-03

I also experimented using the CNC Router, however the fine detail could not be achieved.

font-05

Other experiments are lino and photo-polyer etching.
