Letterpress Poster - Experiment

Updated: Mar 13, 2021

Questioning how to improve the world.







Creating a poster with an outward question, to make the viewer participate.























Lockdown gave us the time and space to slow down a little at times. Questioning our lives, normal routines and moral compasses.















How do you want the world to look?

The question is asked to followers

Best 4 answers are sent a print for participating

Asked to document the poster in their front window, hopefully inciting more conversation in their community





The range of wooden type in the print room meant that I was missing a few letters, I left these empty and made sure the kerning of the letters reflect these gaps. I think the missing letters also accentuate the question and gap/void.

There were also a few zeros used instead of O's again because of the range of wooden type available. I think this adds to the balance in the piece and I like the 0's alignment at the top of the print.

The old wooden letters also add texture and I didn't pack up the lower type to type height as again i thought it worked with the piece and the placements in windows and community spaces to leave the print with texture.
