Going for a taco on a saturday afternoon in Los Angeles’ Glendale area, you might come across a wonderful poster like this one. Yes, you’re looking at letterpress!
Based on Bas Oudt – 1/3 – Background & Process
This is Bas Oudt, one of my former teachers at the Gerrit Rietveld academie.
Being both offset printer and graphic designer, Bas Oudt (1956 -2014) was one of the few people who really knew how to create graphic design work that is informed by printing technique in both a physical and creative way. In that respect he’s been a rolemodel who stimulated me to do what I’m doing today.
