LetterMpress: A Review by Christopher Wallace

A review of LetterMpress by Christopher Wallace

John Bonadies with the LetterMpress app 

I recently purchased LetterMpress from iTunes. While the application is fun to use, John Bonadies (one of its developers) states that LetterMpress was not created as a game, but rather as a teaching tool to pass down the traditional art of letterpress printmaking.

 

LetterMpress allows the users to create work in a virtual letterpress studio that is fully stocked with wood type, ornaments and art. With its painstaking attention to detail, the interface is visually stunning: users measure with a pica ruler, use furniture to lock type into place, and print on a Vandercook proofing press. LetterMpress even allows its users to take their creations out of the virtual world and have them printed on the actual equipment on which the application is modeled.

Proceed and Be Bold!: A Review by Adam Rowlett

A Review of Proceed and Be Bold! by Adam Rowlett

Proceed and Be Bold! is a documentary on the life and work of letterpress printer Amos Paul Kennedy Junior. 

Kennedy did not discover letterpress until he was in his forties, and the film tells of how he quit his job as a systems analyst when he found the medium and began his career as an artist.
