National Print Museum

Went to an open day in the National Print Museum in Beggars Bush last weekend where they demonstrated various old printing presses & printing techniques.

I got them to do the letters of Tinderbox on the Linotype hot metal press, which was really interesting to watch all the intricate workings of it and amazingly fast as it takes a cast of a row of individual letters and injects molten metal into it to form the line of type, all in about 20 seconds!

Anyway, here's some photos of it for a possible new banner, take your pic!

Elida's banners

Hey everyone, here's my first submission of banners for Tinderbox. I've been messing about with making a typeface & layering textures in Photoshop to give a kind of vintage screenprint effect. I've done 2 options, a colourful one & a more muted one cos I thought the colour one might look a bit kiddy?

I'll probably have a go at another banner in a different style, how's everyone else getting on?!

Batmanomatopaiea!

Someone has put together a gallery of the sound effect images from the 60s Batman tv show that would pop up whenever they punched someone. Some of the lettering & colours are actually pretty cool!
