I visited the NCCD at Sleaford and looked around the Typographic Dante exhibition that was on. The typography and the typewriter art fascinated me. I loved it. Although it was a very small exhibition I took so much inspiration and ideas from it..

The actual person behind the exhibition used to teach me at University over 10 years ago so although the whole university experience wasn’t a good one for me, I was able to overlook that!

I then decided to research into his work after the exhibition and stumbled across his book on amazon. His style of work was what I was looking t trying to recreate for my assignment one postcards so I was eager to buy a copy and see how it was done!

The book goes into the history of typewriters and the earliest documentations of typewriter art and then explores the work behind some typewriter artists.

The book is beautifully illustrated with many great examples of work and it gives you a thorough insight into typewriter art and typography being created using a typewriter. This book demonstrates how to literally make words visual; turning text into images.
