I learned this process while taking a printmaking workshop from Jim Sheridan at Hatch ShowPrint in Nashville TN. This process requires very few materials.
Supplies Needed:
1) Oil based printing ink such as offset ink, block printing or silkscreen ink.
2) T-Shirts- Get the most durable t-shirts you can find. I recommend Haynes super heavy weight.
3) Letterpress wood [...]]]></description>

While serving as a soldier in Iraq, I had the opportunity to visit one of Saddam Hussein&#8217;s former palaces. The Al Faw Palace in Baghdad is decorated with beautiful hand painted script that rhythmically dances along many of the walls, doors, and ceilings. The script is demonstrates a wholehearted commitment to excellence in craftsmanship. Much [...]]]></description>

There are numerous sites that offer free fonts downloads. There are some drawbacks to using free fonts. They aren&#8217;t normally as high a quality as fonts you would buy from more well-known type foundries. Specifically, free fonts don&#8217;t usually include as many characters as paid for fonts. Often, the free font&#8217;s don&#8217;t &#8220;hint&#8221; as well [...]]]></description>

I just returned form Typcon:Rhythm in Atlanta and one of hot topics was &#8220;web based fonts&#8221;. They hosted a two hour panel discussion on the subject and posted it online. It offers a good overview of web based font limitations. Type foundries are trying to create ways to allow more fonts online, but they are [...]]]></description>

There are many types of graphic designers. Graphic designers design magazines, websites, logos, packaging and just about anything that has type on it. Designers are in essence visual communicators. They help clients communicate their message clearly and persuasively  through printed and digital media. Being a graphic design is a wonderful job, but it&#8217;s not for [...]]]></description>

As many graphic designers, I occasionally enter work in annuals and shows. After all it&#8217;s inexpensive self promotion, and good for a designer’s spirit to share work with an audience of piers. Recently while viewing a prominent design annual, I became concerned that much of the work today is becoming increasingly difficult to grasp. I [...]]]></description>
