Reverting to type exhibition- Coronet street

An exhibition of contemporary letterpress practitioners. Here I liked the combination of both computer based letter press, and also tradtional ways. Having done the typography project I think this made me see the work of the exhibition differently, I was looking at the gaps between words, the angles, why they used specific colours, how the artists used hyerachy. I think having worked on typography this made me appritiate and understand the concepts behind some of the work better, walking round.... I felt like a typographer!!!! The exhibition also gave me ideas on how type can interact differently and how you can use space to highlight a message.


It was also pretty cool to see the Chelsea work above -'excuses' which I had seen in the studio as a work in progress.
