Upside Down, Left To Right: A Letterpress Film...

Upside Down, Left To Right: A Letterpress Film from Danny Cooke on Vimeo.


A great short film here by Danny Cokke about letter press situated in Plymouth University. In a world where digital media and print techniques are taking over, its good to see that some people, like Paul Collier here, are still going on strong with traditional methods.

Be sure to check out more videos by Danny on his vimeo.

Creative Review gets a new look...

For this April's issue of creative review they have undergone a redesign with a 'new size, new paper, new typography and, yes, a new logo'

There resons for the redesign are because 'Last month we celebrated our 30th birthday. It seemed the perfect moment to reinvent the magazine if we wanted to ensure its continued success over the next three decades.'

'There are two specific aims for the redesign: to create a better physical product and to get across the repositioning of our editorial stance that has been developing over the past two years.'

Personally the new design looks more intriguing and I am really interested in see what the 'new size' will be as there old large square format was something in play for them since the beginning of production.

Polluted Minds...

Tonight I and a few others headed on down to tactile bosch to see the polluted minds exhibition by four third year illustration students in Cardiff School of Art and Design. Although tricky to find when we did go in through the plastic flaps and gate then we saw some real nice illustrations. All of the them were hand drawn/painted and with quite a lot of co-labortion as well. Not only was the exhibition good but as you can tell, the building had a lot of character and although rustic had a really nice feel to it.]

After looking around the person who ran it let us have a look around the print workshop next door with amazing screen printing machines. He told us about this new print studio called 'ThePrintHaus' in canton opening with public access to print workshops, (I really want to try this out).

All in all it was a nice time and I was really glad going along to it to find out new things.
