Typography

Seminars Pat 1 /2

CRAIG WARD.

My first thoughts about Typography were how linked it is to Print. It is a entirely modernised way to express ourselves and has the power to leave quite an impression on us.

TYPE has evolved into an art form of its own. It has become influential as part of our every day experience of art and design within modern culture.

When I think of Typography and its prominence in our everyday lives I imagine how advertising and marketing has perfected the use of successful type in branding.

Introduction to the possibilities of Relief Print 1 / 2 ----seminar

After listening to this seminar I'm still not convinced that this is a medium I would like to immerse myself in.

It is unbelievably diverse, the results from print are astonishing and certainly are I'm interested in any medium that involves the use and clear understanding of color which is an area I want to improve my knowledge and practice on.

This was good to the point that it gave a great introduction to the history of print, excellent artists to research and clearly Des the tutor is very passionate about this area.

The practical side of traditional Relief print making involves a lot of processes with many chemicals and strong smells from the type of mediums used to print so the environment is very off-putting to me personally.

I remain skeptically open to be convinced that I could benefit from printmaking as part of my arsenal.
