Pingnan Lu
Four Seasons Letterpress Postcards

Design Product & Packaging

Un-commissioned | New Talent

Why did you make this work:
I chose representative things of the four seasons such as animals, plants, food, and clothing to design this set of works, and combined them with letterpress printing. I wanted to explore letterpress techniques with my friend who runs a letterpress printing studio like the use of dots, transparency, texture, etc in letterpress printing.

What materials and techniques did you use?:
I used Procreate for drawing and designing, Photoshop for editing details and selecting the Pantone color, and then paid my friend to use the Heidelberg Windmill letterpress for printing.

How were your illustrations used:
Postcards.
