Lights, camera, action!

One of the projects at Type Camp was to print 3 action words - one in metal type, one in wooden type and then stick one on using letraset. My words were yawn (metal), sleep (wooden) and dream (letraset). I printed 40 copies with yawn and sleep. Then I handed over 5 of each of my precious prints to 4 people for them to respond. It was great to see the reaction that people had to my words and the outcome as prints.

With 17 type campers all doing the same the array of resulting prints was quite impressive.

I liked all four responses to my prints but these are my favourites as I will probably get them framed to put in the baby's room.



Even more images from Type Camp are now available on Flickr!

Type Camp Buffalo is now over but I get to look back over the week by going through all the photos I took. There's a taster of each day on blipfoto for now but I'll gradually be uploading them all to Flickr so check them out.

We worked 10am to 10pm everyday and the work that was produced by all the type campers was pretty impressive! I feel very inspired by what I've learned and am hoping to put some of my new found skills into practice.
