Watching this made me appreciate letterpress even more. Learning letterpress is something that I definitely am going to do. She has a great passion for letterpress and she even smiles when she says that she loves what she does.
If your in New York Brown Parcel press is located in Brooklyn.
Could You imagine if we still had to rely on Linotype machines for printing? I feel that something so simple as the newspaper would be more appreciated. But we have the internet available for us wherever we go. A good educational video on the linotype machine.
This is a very interesting video I stumbled across on Youtube. I’m guessing this is an experimental video david carson made. It’s very interesting to see how the typography comes in and out of the screen. I’m not sure but it looks as if this was made before finalcut and other video editing programs were well known and made.
An interesting way to go about judging the effectiveness of an ad. I wonder what are some other techniques agencies’ use.
When I first took upon myself that I wanted to improve my logo design skills I had no idea what to expect. My first thoughts were yea this shouldn’t be to hard to design a logo a day for 30 days straight. Well I was unaware the complexity of designing logos for various types of businesses.
Some of the many things I learned from designing a logo a day for 30 days

Hope you all have a great time with your family and friends. If you already celebrated I hope you got everything you wanted.
In the design community you have many people who want to help each other out. Some of those people are more honest then others and some are helpful and others are not. One thing that I always check for if the person actually has work equivalent or better then yours.
A lot of it has to do with a person ego that they have built for them self. When you are critiquing a designers work you should always make sure to give them helpful advice on not just what they did wrong but also what they did right.
