9 North Hall Create the visual book using letterpress printing. Innovative Letterpress will explore such areas as narrative, serialization, type as image, and the physical structure of the book. Available technology includes wood type, metal type, photopolymer plates, Macintosh computers, and Vandercook proof presses to generate traditional letterpress printing, monoprinting, and some nontraditional letterpress techniques. Students may work with text, but no manuscript is required. This course explores how the verbal meaning of a text works with its visual, textural and spatial meanings to communicate to an audience.
