ROCHESTER stacked poster, version 1

My role

Translated CNC letterforms into hand-pulled screen-printed posters.

Context

Regional typography and imagery for the Civic Pride Campaign.

Status

Signed editions of twenty-five per color combination.

The first version of a poster series that grew out of my Civic Pride Campaign: a contemporary image of Rochester to live with at home or at work.

It started as 3D letters cut on my CNC, which I liked but found less practical as a product, so I translated the idea into a print. The typeface is Katahdin by Tyler Finck of Finck Co. in Ithaca, so even the type is regional.

A hand-pulled screen print at 19 × 25 inches on French Paper Kraft-Tone cover in white, silver, and black water-based ink. I printed twenty-five of each color combination, numbered and signed.

This first version of the ROCHESTER STACKED poster is 19" x 25" on French Paper's Brown Box Kraft, 100 lbs. Kraft-Tone Cover. Printed with Speedball's White, Silver and Black Water Based Acrylic Ink. I am only running 25 of each variable combination. What this does is make your print unique and collectable items. Plus, it keeps it interesting to me for creating new versions to print! The design is something that i have been working on for a while. It started with 3D letters that I cut on my CNC. A lovely piece but something that was not a practical product for my fellow Rochesterians. One thing that makes this design even more of a regional design is the typeface was created by Tyler Finck of Finck Co. in Ithaca, New York. It's name is Katahdin and has its own wonderful story. This poster is a hand-pulled screen print. Giving it that tactile feeling that only this process can produce. They are all number and signed by me, Bill Klingensmith.
