Brief 14 // Design Context Publication // Woodblock Letters

As part of the front cover design I am going to include woodblock letters. These are letter which I have previously hand printed myself within the print room. To make use of them I will scan in the printed letter and use them digitally within the front cover.

The idea of the front cover is to show a mix of graphic design and print making within the design, using the woodblock letter prints is a great way to print making and scanning them in at a high resolution should keep all the detail of the prints intact, as this gives it the print making aesthetic.

Once the letters were scanned in, I could use the selection tool within photoshop to select the letters I wanted to use within the front cover design. Saving these out as images, was the best way to be able to place them within the design of the front cover.
