From a different perspective
This 48-page colorful booklet whets the appetite for more: As an introduction to the investigation of the Lower Rhine's typeface past, students in a course with Dr. Dan Reynolds created vectorized copies of typefaces. A type specimen catalog produced around 1910 for the brass type foundry Otto Kaester GmbH of Krefeld served as a template. Each course participant:in then interpreted one of these words in their own way in a layout. Together, they printed this brochure on the Faculty of Design's color laser and RISO printer and hand-stitched it.
Project Director: Dr. Dan Reynolds.
Participants:
Alex Agapie, Kathrin Dahmen, Lara Fischer, Julia Frolov, Miriam, Ann-Christine Gierkes, Yllka Hulaj,
Josephine Ruff, Kathrin Wenger, Ruby Weuthen, and Mari Zagoeva.
