Recently i took part in a letter press workshop which showed us how to put together a basic template design and explain how to use the printing press.
When creating a template you have to consider :
- what you are wanting the text to say
- how many words you want per line
- how you want it to line up
As well as these few point you need to keep in mind that it needs to be back to front the letter from or the design will not print properly.
After this workshop i went back in my own time to create my own design. Below are images of my attempt at letter press, at first my design was slightly wrong as i had a few letter the wrong way round as it is tricky at firs tot get your head round which way the need to be. After a trial and error i perfected the design a created a range of prints.
Also when printing i decided that i would lessors onto on of my mono prints to see how the two traditional print methods work together. From this method i discovered that they work well along side each other and that they compliment each other nicely.
