Attention to detail in Letterpress

Everybody knows that Everybody loves letterpress as a printing method. Results are always interesting, and when combined with a fantastic image and used properly it becomes much amazing.

Recently whilst looking for something else, (as is always the case) we stumbled upon this amazing example of a letterpress poster. The designer, Cameron Moll, was inspired by a visit to the Colosseum in Rome to produce the poster you see a detail of above, it’s an example of what can happen when a designer or artist gets close to becoming obsessive. In this case it is pure inspiration.

You can click the image above to go to the website that he has produced to sell prints of the poster. There is a fantastic video of the production of the poster which will help you understand the process, and hopefully inspire you to make something as beautiful as this yourself.

Everybody says well done Cameron, this is a fantastically inspiring piece which we can’t keep ourselves from looking at over and over.

We’ve had a busy month so we will update the site with more stuff that has inspired us over the last few weeks whilst we’ve been knocking out the work!
