Wood types (Printing)
Summary:
Kennedy’s signature style is shown here in these poster-sized editions of quotes that are printed using vintage letterpress wood type and flatbed cylinder presses. He layers texts in colorful sequences. This creates word patterns that become the backgrounds for prominent phrases which are emphasized in the boldest final impressions. Kennedy’s poster honors the American civil rights activist Dr. King as his words are powerfully accentuated by his vivid treatments.
