Letter Pressing


This is such a cool process, it gives an effect that cannot be produced using digital printing methods, we tested lots of different waits of paper and different packing to get the perfect print.

Setting type for business cards


The buisness cards we want to make need to represent the studio as a print based studio, so it makes sence to have contact details letter pressed on the reverse. Again down the road at Vernon I got to work on setting the type ready to print.

Embossing


Unfortunatly the embossing plate was left in the asid solution for too long and therefore went through the copper, we had a go at embossing with it regaurdless and concidering the state of the place I was pleasantly supprised by the result althought not perfect and we have made another it gave a good representation of what this method could produce.

Etching


After having my tutorial with Amber and we had disscussed the disadvantages and our dissapointment with lazer cutters we spoke about etching into copper to create a much more accurate embossing plate. I took this on board and went down to Vernon street and spoke to the guys down there they were incredably helpful and spoke us through the entire thing from start to finish.
