Design Archive Research


design archive
‘Design Archive’ uses letterpress, the historic printmaking process, as a medium, showing unique interpretations of artists, designers and typographers who influence(d) the field of Graphic Design. Each print conveys an interpretation of how the leading makers used elements and principles of design including: space, balance, line, color, emphasis, texture, form, scale, contrast... The printable material of letterpressed relief blocks ranges from hand cut boards, laser cut boards, torn boards, cut vinyl, open woodgrain and more, creating a variety of surface and edge treatments.
