Cutting Bembo
Posted on January 16th, 2011 by steve
Student Mike Thomas went back to basics with his work for my experimental type course.
As part of an 11-week study, Mike explored types created by the originator of italics, Francesco ‘Griffo’ da Bologna (1450-1518).
Mike’s work was produced using a stack of 20 year old, aged paper – and involved media ranging from paint to ink to digital.
His final project (above) was realized by cutting Griffo’s italic directly out of pieces of lead and creating a ‘soot proof’ of the carved letters. Not quite to spec, but challenging nonetheless.
John Bell in verse
Posted on January 15th, 2011 by steve
I teach an experimental typography course at Ai Sacramento. And this past quarter, student Joyce Tabujara ventured into song.
For her final project, she wrote and preformed This Is To Mister Bell (above) – a tribute to typographer John Bell (1745-1831) and his types.
Below, a few of her studies.
