DIY Design: Love/Hate Posters by Ben ...

Preis: ?

Way back in ye olde times, when creative design was a more hands-on affair, pens, pencils, magic markers, inks, blades and mounting boards, allowed designers to express a real individuality in their craft that is not possible with a keyboard and mouse. One of the most loved items in the designers' toolkit was Letraset. Letraset sheets were available with typefaces, symbols and other graphic elements that could be transferred to the artwork by simply rubbing.

If you've never used it before, it's fun! And now's your chance because we have had 3 Letraset transfer sheets made up especially for you! Packed with words and phrases that epitomise today's world - from Big Brother to Latte, from Call Centres to Sophie Ellis-Bextor - it's up to you to get creative with them!

To help, we have 2 blank posters, one titled Love and the other Hate. It's up to you to decide where each word or phrase from your Letraset sheets should go. There's no sitting on the fence, you either love it or you hate it.

This is what you get...

2 x A2 lithographically printed posters on heavyweight 250gsm art paper with background grid to help you position your design.

3 x Custom Letraset transfer sheets, 254mm x 381mm.

When you have finished customising your posters they will be as individual as you are. No two posters will be alike.

So, don't be a slave to mass produced, computer generated blandness. Make a personal artistic statement that looks how you want it to look and says what you want it to say. And when you've done it, send a photo in to us and we'll add you to our DIY Design Hall of Fame. Each month the best design wins a T-shirt.

NOTE: Every Letraset sheet has been individually screen printed by hand and they are fragile! Please be aware that depending on your level of patience and skill you will experience an amount of imperfection when applying your transfers. We think this is wonderful and only enhances the hand-made feel. We cannot be held responsible for your application of the transfers. Enjoy.
