Manifesto

We travelled to the The Jan van Eyck Printing & Publishing Lab in Maastricht (NL), using their A2 risograph printer to make this edition of printed posters. We produced 4 different poster designs with a written manifesto on the reverse. The manifesto rambled on about self-publishing, riso, collaboration and numerous other tangents.

The posters were designed over a number of days whilst we discussed the content of what should go in the manifesto. The designs used a typeface made especially for Foundation Press by Birmingham-based designers An Endless Supply as a starting point.

The posters also made use of imagery from Foundation Press' archive of ships which have moored at Port of Sunderland – these were posted via Instagram under the tag #boatoftheweek.
