Recently The Print Project came into to teach us about letterpress and allowed us to have a little experiment in a workshop which was amazing as it allowed us to be quite hands on with type which is completely different to how we normally work.
I think managed to put the letters in the right order (for letterpress you needed to put them backwards):
It was a really beneficial and enjoyable workshop which was quite inspirational for my COP project which is actually based on print. The use of the ink which is not quite fully covering the page makes the letters look quite rustic and old (due to the age of the monotype) which is definitely fitting for my current advertising brief for the website, although with limited time and supplies at LCA it would have been amazing to actually letterpress all of my advertising brief however I might need to find alternatives online to give a similar affect.
