MoreLong description:
This book presents an overview of the convergence of traditional letterpress with contemporary digital design and fabrication practices.
Reflecting on the role of letterpress within the emergent hybrid post-digital design process, contributors present historical and contemporary analysis, grounded in case studies and current practice. The main themes covered include the research on letterpress as a technology and medium; a reflection on the contribution of letterpress to arts and design education; and current artistic and communication design practice merging past, present and future digital fabrication processes.
This will be of interest to scholars working in graphic design, communication design, book design, typography, typeface design, design history, printing, and production technologies.
