As “birthday gift” for the first 25 years (1995–2020), Tipoteca Italiana asked 25 designers and printers, from all over the world, to design and print a poster. The project 25×25. Tipoteca 25 was conceived in this way. Maximum freedom of creation was left, except for a few rules: the size (50 × 70 cm), the colors (maximum 4 colors), and the printing technique (letterpress). Over half of the posters were made directly in the printshops of the invited designers; instead, those who had no way of printing the poster in their studio were sent a Type-Kit, consisting of the digital scan of twenty typefaces from the Tipoteca archive with which they could design the posters. The print would have been performed by the Tipoteca Stamperia on the basis of the indications of colors, fonts, and layout established by each graphic designer. And so it was.
Clint Harvey (Brisbane) Over a rewarding 20+ year commercial career in Design, Clint’s focus was on typography in all its forms. He went on to manage his own type & design business for over 10 years. For the past 10 years as Head of School at Design College Australia, Clint has directed DCA in continuing to be Queensland’s leading educational facility of Graphic Design and Photography. His prized collection of woodtype, cabinets of lead type, historic printing presses, linotypes & casters is eclectically housed in an old abattoir in Brisbane, Australia – The Bacon Factory.
