Typography

  • This class was a class meant to demonstrate how press print is used and how to use it. Professor provided the class with a big wooden tray filled with tiny metal rods that had letters on the bottom. We learned how they were commonly used in a machine that would press down a bunch of these rods in a row on a sheet of paper to make a sentence. But we had no machine, so we just pressed down with our hands instead. I think mine turned out pretty good in the picture above. This assignment taught me other ways to write without using a keyboard.
