Hepworth Print Fair - Poster


When I visited the Hepworth Print Fair I bought this poster from Nathan Bolton 

- http://www.nathanboltondesign.com - 

I was initially attracted to this poster because I love web development and coding, and this marriage between coding and computing and print was like the stars had aligned for me. When I got the poster home and framed it I got thinking of the concept of the 'Analogue Website' stated on the poster. What Bolton has done here is take the website, or what makes a website, and put it into an environment where it is technically useless, such as here in print. It has given code a visual quality which is not usually seen or considered. It has played with the typical representation between code and the website/computer to trip up my expectations, it is very clever and something which I have not seen before.

But all theory aside, it just looks beautiful. I love Computing and Typography, it was like this poster was made for me!
