Entirely My Visit Card

Mentor: Marko Drpić

I want to print my very own visit card with lead type!

A seemingly simple task, nevertheless requiring us to make several decisions. First we have to choose font type and size, learn how to find lead type in their typesetter cabinet and set them in a composition. At the end of the workshop, each participant will print tens of copies of their own visit card on the proofing press.
