Lef (Left Front for the Arts) cover designed by Rodchenko, Russian Constructivist 1923.
New methods of printing (offset) allowed new concepts of design, especially for publications such as magazines. Constructivist designers pushed the new technology as far as they could.
Quote from New graphic design in Revolutionary Russia by Szymon Bojko
"The program of Constructivism aimed at the overthrow of the division between utility, artistic pursuits and free expressionism-between the unique and duplicated work. The realization of this aesthetic ideal in the field of typography was the great achievement of Rodchenko which was cordially acclaimed by Mayakovsky. It was Rodchenko who elevated mass printing-book covers and ordinary brochures, the wrappings of poor quality sweets, newspaper advertisements, labels and film leaders-to the rank of genuine graphic art. The many book covers designed by Rodchenko coupled popular and legible graphics with inventive eye-attacking form."
Kiss registration joins the revolution. Offset printing brought about new revolutionary methods of production in graphic design that created the ability to work with montage and more photography.

A supplementary plate forming part of a 1923 issue of Commercial Art magazine and issued by the London company of George Mann & Co Ltd who were advertising their "Baby" single colour rotary offset printing machine. To illustrate the machine's capabilities they've shown a rather fine showcard produced for the famous Smethwick, Birmingham based ironmongery and hardware company Henry Hope & Sons Ltd.
Hope's were one of the earlier manufacturers of metal and steel windows and it, along with allied products such as roof lights and glazing systems, formed an important part of their extensive business. In time they would merge with long-standing rivals Crittall to form Crittall Hope. Hope's had a strong 'corporate identity' that ran through their publicity and advertising that was always of a high quality. For this showcard they've commissioned the regarded artist and graphic designer F Gregory Brown, usually titled Gregory Brown, whose use of such flat colours was seen to great effect in the many railway and travel posters he created. Brown also produced many advertising images for a wide range of clients at this time.
Tipped into the Printing Review for Spring 1932 is this well printed four page advert supplement using Tullis Russell's "Mellotex" paper that was intended as a competatively priced, quality paper for offset printing. The supplement uses various illustrations and type to display the types of use the paper could be put to for advertising and publicity work. The cover is very much in the contemporary style whilst the illustrations inside are very typical of much early 1930s work.
Tullis Russell Co Ltd were a major paper manufacturer whose range included many specialist types of paper for a wide variety of uses. The company's origins date back to 1809 when Robert Tullis acquired the Leven Mill in Markinch, Fife, that had been constructed in 1804. Tullis later constructed the adjacent Auchmuty Mill and acquired the Rothes Mill. By 1875 the company had moved into the coated paper business, based at Bollington in Cheshire. After 1947 a trust was set up by the Tullis family and over the proceeding decades the company moved into employee ownship and is still in business although the Scottish mills have been closed.
The last page shows the stocked weights and sizes available from the mill or from stocks held at the company's wharves in London and Manchester.

This image was produced from a series of original negatives used to promote the French Fleet of that era. Most of the negatives in this collection received retouching modifications for contemporary postcard or offset printing processes. The retouching was carried out to facilitate or improve the negatives tonal range for the printing process. Some enhancements such as fake clouds, waves, smoke and highlights might still be seen in this reproduction from those negatives.

Luke Ramsey is awesome. He creates beautiful, intricate pieces of artwork that include zines, murals, paintings and prints. He also runs Islands Fold, an independent publisher and artist residency in B.C., Canada.
We ran into Luke last summer at the Portland Zine Symposium, and saw him sketching in a Scout Book! Quickly gave him another, and within weeks he had filled it up and sent us images. At long last, here is what the fantastic Luke Ramsey did with the 32 grid pages of a Scout Book.
Awesome! Thanks, Luke.

From the marvellous German publication Archiv für Buchgewerbe und Gebrauchsgraphik, a long running trade journal looking at book design and commercial art, comes this advertising insert from 1925. It is for the Leipzig printing concern of Berger & Wirth who also had brancesh in Berlin, Barmen, Hamburg, Amsterdam and Budapest. Specialising in offset printing the advert shows the wonderful array of packaging and labelling they produced for the 'Hansi" brand of pralines and chocolates.
Hansi, with the once familiar 'Hansi" mascot, his rucksack and five bars of chocolate seen at the top of the advert, was manufactured by the Rüger company, founded in 1858 by Otto Rüger and based at Lockwitzgrund near Dresden until the company appears to have closed in 1932. The advert itself is wonderfully brilliant with a depth and lustre to the printing that scanning does not wholly pick up.

Notes: The autotype is a photographic and chemical reproduction process developed by Georg Meisenbach in Munich around 1880 for the production of clichés as a printing form for letterpress printing. After letterpress printing was replaced by offset printing, autotypes are rarely used today.
This print was made by Eder from the original daguerreotype and bound into the back of his 1905 history of photography volume.

These colorful and eye catching posters that you see are a treasure of my father and grand father | Humans of Mumbai
These colorful and eye catching posters that you see are a treasure of my father and grand father. Now they have become my identity too. They have done such a hard work of gathering these and also maintained them in such a good condition, which itself is a big task.
Nowadays the posters which are coming out of the new generation films are digitally printed on glossy papers whereas the older generation posters were printed using offset printing and lithography.
Both the technology have a vast difference, those artists who used to make these handmade posters have weathered out. Could not survive.
If you ask me as to how will I maintain and preserve these, my answer is that to do such work, you need to love the posters. The more you love them, the better you preserve these, the future generation will be grateful and gleeful.
In my view, all the posters are equally good. None is small or big, but if you insist, I feel that this big poster of Dilip sahab's film "Tarana" was magnificent and very close to my heart.
Till I live, these posters too will be alive, I will take all pains to preserve them.
Lastly I will say that those people who love films, their posters and who do not know that there is this small loveable shop in Mutton street, between Bhendi Bazaar aur JJ hospital which has Indian movie posters available from the time of Sohrab Modi sahibs era of 1930's till date and I have taken good care of them with love, preserved them...yes let this message reach all those lovers of films & film posters
It will be good for me.
I can be contacted at: 113, Mutton street, Mumbai 400003. email: posterstuff@yahoo.com

Quicksilver Times was the premier Washington, D.C. alternative newspaper from 1969 to 1972 along with the Washington Free Press (1967-70) during this period of radical and revolutionary upheaval.
Quicksilver was published every 10 to 14 days as a color tabloid and was sold at a number of alternative businesses as well as by street sellers who paid 10 cents per copy and sold the paper for 25 cents.
Quicksilver was among the pioneers skillfully utilizing the strengths of offset printing such as color, centerfold and back cover political posters and art, attention getting headlines, large graphics and over time, using white space to focus attention.
On the negative side, its ultization of half-tone graphics overlaid on text, reversed text and a small type face made reading the content difficult at times (though attractive to glance at).
It had excellent coverage of topics such as the Weather Underground, the 1969 Moratoriums, 1970 national student strike, 1970 Revolutionary People’s Constitutional Convention, 1971 People’s Peace Treaty, 1971 Mayday demonstrations, the rise of the women’s liberation and gay liberation movements, the rise and decline of the Black Panther Party, campaigns to free political prisoners, the youth culture and the co-op movement.
The staff waged a year-long struggle to keep the paper alive after May 1971 through its last issue in June 1972. Declining advertising and street sales coupled with rising prices of printing, rent and staff needs put pressure on the paper and it began running in the red.
The staff tried fundraisers, soliciting donations and toward the end the reduced staff of 5-6 people were selling papers on the street 10 of 14 days between issues to raise money. Content and creativity suffered and the staff was forced to close the paper as creditors began filing collection lawsuits.
This is a complete collection with the exception of Volume 2, Number 13 published in May 1970. A few other issues have damaged pages. We have physical possession of all but six issues, but were able to fill five of the gaps courtesy of the online collections of the D.C. Public Library’s Dig DC and the website Independent Voices.

Kickstarter for new book about pinhole photography, proud of be among the artists included.
Why a Kickstarter?
We're using Kickstarter to generate the funds needed for the best printing quality possible. As mentioned above, the book will be offset printed - a printing method that uses the large plates to set the ink. Because offset printing takes so much work to set up, it requires a large initial order with the print fulfillment company.
About the ƒ/D Book of Pinhole
While photobooks are a great way to collect photography, the pinhole photography community is greatly under-represented on bookshelves. In response, we ran a call for entry asking photographers to show us what they've seen through a pinhole. We received an overwhelming response from around the world, and selected 99 photos to publish in a book created to celebrate pinhole photograpy.
In all, the book features 60 black & white and 39 color photos. The photographs represent techniques that demonstrate the “pinhole look” in general as well as the unique ways in which pinhole works with motion and time, bent film planes, infrared, and other techniques and formats.
Who This Book is For
The ƒ/D Book of Pinhole was compiled for all fans of photography.
For the curious, it serves as a great introduction into pinhole as well as providing a visual roadmap for your creative exploration.
For the experienced pinhole photographer, the book provides inspiration and ideas to continue your journey.
For lensed photographers, this visual journey shows new ways to approach photographic image making and what can be done with a long exposure.
For photography collectors, the book will include a directory of included photographers and info on where to find more of their work.

Tipped into the Tipped into the Printing Review for Spring 1932 is this well printed four page advert supplement using Tullis Russell's "Mellotex" paper that was intended as a competatively priced, quality paper for offset printing. The supplement uses various illustrations and type to display the types of use the paper could be put to for advertising and publicity work. The cover is very much in the contemporary style whilst the illustrations inside are very typical of much early 1930s work.
Tullis Russell Co Ltd were a major paper manufacturer whose range included many specialist types of paper for a wide variety of uses. The company's origins date back to 1809 when Robert Tullis acquired the Leven Mill in Markinch, Fife, that had been constructed in 1804. Tullis later constructed the adjacent Auchmuty Mill and acquired the Rothes Mill. By 1875 the company had moved into the coated paper business, based at Bollington in Cheshire. After 1947 a trust was set up by the Tullis family and over the proceeding decades the company moved into employee ownship and is still in business although the Scottish mills have been closed.

DESCRIPTION:
It’s been a long way but finally, here is our new creature, a new version of the legendary Kaneda’s Bike, transformed into a book, a personal tribute, a total rendition to the most famous manga AKIRA of Katsuhiro Otomo.
"With the undeniable potential of the LEGO® bricks as work tools, we present this book which contains the instructions to build the Kaneda’s Bike: a visual experience, a journey through a dream in which we explore beyond our own limits with the sole purpose of entertaining, and with the model in our mind to get the expected result. We have tried to optimize the whole process, by eliminating any ambiguities that may mislead the reader-builder, and simplifying each step to make it easier."

I have not posted one of these in a while. So I am.
I have a book of these floralscapes, At Petal's Edge: The Secret lives of flowers, now available on Blurb. Actually I have had the book available for a while now, I just saw a few things I wanted to change. So now the second edition is up and I am much happier with it. Granted, Blurb does a lot very well while still leaving a lot to be desired. Part of the curse of my job, seeing optical prints and gauging them with a critical eye for color, density and so forth, combined with how often I print my own work, has left me with a critical eye for such things. So naturally I see all the shortcomings of Blurb's printing, even while most others would not. But all things considered, I think they offer the best available product for photographers who are not willing or able to invest in a large scale run of offset printed books. (Myself included). Throwing offset printing out of the equation, I have been quite happy with my experiences with Blurb so far. Sure, they have room for improvement, but they allow me to actually create books that look better than decent, even better than good, if not all the way to super-duper fine art perfect. The most important thing is that I can actually afford to put together collections of my work into book form, which I get no shortage of comments and e-mails regarding. I am not complaining about that, in fact thank you all for the encouragement.
So my second book is now available and while I have not yet produced a book that has any extensive writing on my part, I am building my skills and experience and moving in that direction.
I will also admit that I am horrible at self-promotion. On my best days I am awkward at tooting my own horn and my worst I flat out do my best to avoid it. Which is a shame, because it is a necessary skill to have, and I am slowly working on. So forgive me if I have been hesitant to say much about the book until now, even though it has been up for several months. I was waiting to tweak it. And forgive me if I don't mention much more about it, though I will keep an active link to it over on my website:
www.zebandrews.com
And thank you all who continue to look, comment, enjoy, send me e-mails, and be inspired. I try to respond to as many as I can, and I always fall short of how many I would like to respond to. But I do appreciate all of it.

This is as good a parody in print as I’ve seen in quite awhile. I had to shoot it at an angle due to terrible reflections. It took some time, using Snapseed, to deepen the image and knock down the reflections.
Sadly, I do not know who created this piece, but I think it is great.
I love California!
If you want one of these eco-friendly prints they will be available at these two galleries in February.

Fort Worth, TX
The Knights of Pythias Building is an historic three-story redbrick Knights of Pythias building located at 315 Main Street in Fort Worth, Texas. Also known as the Knights of Pythias Castle Hall, it was built in 1901 on the site of an 1881 structure, the first Pythian Castle Hall ever built, which had burned earlier the same year. The building housed the city's first offset printing press and coin-operated laundry. On April 28, 1970, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The building is also a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark (RTHL). In 1981 it was restored and is now part of the Sundance Square area of downtown Fort Worth.

Cutest. Cover. Ever.
We're going gaga over this awesome Scout Book from Loft Home Decor of Austin, Texas. Loft Home customized one of the Scout Books to include a two-color cover. Sweet!
Luke Ramsey is awesome. He creates beautiful, intricate pieces of artwork that include zines, murals, paintings and prints. He also runs Islands Fold, an independent publisher and artist residency in B.C., Canada.
We ran into Luke last summer at the Portland Zine Symposium, and saw him sketching in a Scout Book! Quickly gave him another, and within weeks he had filled it up and sent us images. At long last, here is what the fantastic Luke Ramsey did with the 32 grid pages of a Scout Book.
Awesome! Thanks, Luke.
My latest haul from my favorite antique store - a September 1972 Philadelphia Inquirer with the Munich Olympics Massacre as the lead story, a May 1974 People Magazine with a story about Pat Nixon, a 1985 RCA Camden employee publication, the last RCA annual report from just before they merged with GE in 1986, a 1960s booklet about photo-offset printing, an RCA publication from 1939 that has Rip Van Winkle being given a tour of RCA facilities, a 1964 Philadelphia edition TV Guide and a Sears publication about making slipcovers and drapes.
It’s been a bit of a rough year for travel, but I’ve put together my 2021 calendar and it’s now ready for sale. Hopefully I can get support from folks online as the location of many past sales, the Christmas Bazaars are all on hold due to the virus, so I’ll be depending on sales to folks who follow my flickr page of my travels in Alaska, so I really appreciate your support this year. As before it is printed in 4 color offset printing that provides vivid color and high resolution. I charge $15 + SH for one or $130+SH for an order of 10. To order please go to my web site WWW.budsalaskaphotos.com. A few people have had an issue where the web page comes up with last year’s calendar, if so simply click on refresh and it’ll bring up the current website as well as a different way to look at photos for anyone who desires prints.
