Cranky Pressman

{ LET LETTERPRESS BE LETTERPRESS }

Tips on designing for the medium.

The mood took a turn for the worse and things got awkward when Keith Berger, the Cranky Pressman, took the stage at the recent Pecha Kucha Cleveland 8 event. As shown in this video, he lectures for over 6 grueling minutes about creating design and artwork for letterpress print production. It's like watching ink dry on paper.

Thanks to AIGA Cleveland for putting everyone through this experience.
