Fingerprint.
As a designer I’m forever looking for ways to get more hands-on with my work. To take it out of the computer and make it more about the process. In portfolio school I not only created a piece of “stained glass” with my headline embedded in the art, but I also dabbled in actual graffiti for another ad in the same campaign. It’s just so much more satisfying to create something tangible with your own two hands that takes on additional value when you’re actually paid to do it.
Fingerprint is about just that.
A new approach to design is gaining momentum as more and more designers seek to combine the power of the computer with the personal qualities of hand-made elements. Fingerprint offers insight into this fusion of the digital and the hand-wrought, with dozens of examples of some of the best work in the industry, including design that includes hand-lettering elements and design that incorporates collage.
