one from the ‘vaults’ i discovered in a box last week: a series of lino-cuts i made for a philips software brochure, a long time ago…
in fact way back in 1989, the brochure was also designed by me, if i remember correctly the lino-cuts were made at the same size as they were finally reproduced at (i no longer have the originals) and all were printed in spot colours on uncoated stock
looking back on them now i guess i should start doing more of this kind of stuff, it’s fun to do and certainly not a very common technique these days…
