The Making of the 11/4/08 Poster

Submitted by Felipe Lima on Wed, 03/03/2010 - 09:00

Today, we're proud to reveal the official 11/4/08 posters, designed by Felipe Lima. Below, Felipe shares a few thoughts about making these posters, as well as some photos from the printing.

To create the 11/4/08 posters, we employed a process called Letterpress printing. Similar in concept to woodblock printing, Letterpress involves reusable, raised surface wood or metal type, which is set by hand, inked, and pressed into paper. Though Johannes Gutenberg's commonly credited with the invention of this method of printing in 1440, it's been found to have been developed separately in Asia before then.  More »
