MMOP is a very interesting working museum that focuses on the traditional printing methods and equipment of typography.
We were taught the entire process in which the letters and words are made, set, and pressed. It really made me see how we take things like a computer for granted. It is so easy for us to just design something and type it up in InDesign, whereas the whole process of how they used to do it back in the day took so much effort and work.
We created and a4 poster with different fonts and words and then we set in up, rolled a bit of ink over and pressed it. It took a few times to get the ink perfect but we ended up with a great poster that really had an amazing quality to it.
Overall my experience at MMOP was very interesting. I learnt a lot and everyone had a chance to get involved . Thankyou Micheal and Lorry!
