Letterpress Printing!

Received an email today containing a link to a letterpress video (link). The video was originally posted on ministry of type. I'm loving the processes used here to make some sweet, authentic letter press posters.

I'm really considering using letter press and hopefully lino to create my final posters for my professional project. As well as it looking great, it goes with the theme of my brief/learning agreement. My aim is to create awareness of 1960's British films, and what better way to create the posters than one of the original methods from the 60's!

I'm going to look into having some lesson on letterpress at uni, or hopefully with a company somewhere round uni or London.
