#ANALOG is the product of an initially week long project. The brief; to create a bespoke piece of type, in any form. Our team of five originally had the idea of creating a large letterpress stamp, this later changed to Card press printing recreating the same effect.
The concept; Analog VS Digital. With "#" being the most digital piece of type around we wanted to add a fresh take on the symbol.So we took it back a few years and got on the retro press machines to create a series of 7 prints.
Our work was chosen to be exhibited in Kemistry Gallery within the "An Exhibition of Type and Textuality"
