Craft & Process

My final year MA Graphic Design project includes a



designed A5 Project Report, a designed A4 Visual Summary



and the final outcome: two A2 hand-bound books with real 



wooden covers which contain my individual designed



letterforms. Additionally to my outcome is a "process book"



with all the visible stages and steps I had to achieve during



the making process of letterpress.

Textures 

Visual communication

The designs visualise a journey about the

​

collaboration between hand drawn processes

​

and digital media in the field of typography.

​

​
 

Visualising a story about the cooperation

​

between the human and the machine where a

​

traditional technique such as letterpress and

​

the rather new method in design called laser



cut, are introduced to visual ideas and new

​
interpretations in the voice of the 21st century

​

for the purpose of graphic and communication
​
design.



​The main influence for this project was the idea

​

of combining areas in the field of graphic

​

design. Starting of with the most common gift

​

of an creative-  hand drawn illustrations in form

​

of individual letterforms, perfected digitally and

​

take further to other technologies such as laser

​

cut for the purpose of letterpress-printing them

​

later on.

​

​



​

​



Testing out the possibilities of various


techniques in a cooperation process was the

aim of this design project. The question is not

what is better: handmade or digital, but what

can be achieved if you there is an interplay

between both of these areas?
