Get Impressed. The Revival of Letterpress and Handmade Type.
Happy to have my work featured in this publication by Sandu Publishing Co., Ltd. from China. I’m looking forward to receiving the book and meeting old and new ‘faces’ on the pages filled with ink and wood type.
Here is a short info about the publication:
Get Impressed. The Revival of Letterpress and Handmade Type
Letterpress, an old-world invention, forever changed the face of communication and the speed in which information could pass from person to person. It gave birth to the “press”. Today letterpress is in a full-blown revival and widely used in printing books, posters, bespoke stationery like invitations, name cards, letterheads and so on. Letterpress designers carve out their names in the computer-generated design world with beautifully composed types.

And a few impressions:
My submission for this publication was the design for an LP sleeve (gatefold) and CD cover+booklet for the ‘Pockets Full of Change’ album by ‘People in Houses’ music band from Ghent. Together with the band we decided to use crafty approach: the illustrations were made from linocut, I printed and scanned the wood type to be used for the titles and the back side of the wood type for the textures. The letterpress printing took place at my studio Letterpress Corner and offset printing at Deepgrooves (NL).
