A few years ago, when the Museum of Industry still had the old name MIAT, I designed and letterpress printed several posters for the museum shop.
It was one of my first attempts to design and typeset an illustration build from typographic material available in the museum. As the museum is housed in a former textile factory I had an idea of representing the building using only brass rules, wood and metal type
Gentse Feesten 2024 or “De boere-kermis”.
It is that time of year again, time for Ghent Festivities (Gentse Feesten), one of the largest cultural festivals in Europe - ten days of fun, which kicks off on the 19th of July.
Designing and printing a poster for this occasion is an old tradition at the Museum of Industry and this year was no exception.

But this year we thought to link it to an historical object from the museum's collection.
