A second Le Cool Dublin cover from Dublin-based graphic designer Graham Thew
Graham sez:
“When I started my career, the full horror of clipart had yet to be come apparent. Prior to this, designers and architects often used these rub-down Letraset transfers for images as well as basic typography for all kinds of projects. Whilst they were incredibly limiting, there was a certain charm in both their Mad Men aesthetic and their decidedly satisfying method of application. I’d swap my pressure sensitive graphics tablet right now for a handful of these vintage lovelies.”

Ha! Used these for a short while pre-DTP; specifically ‘wielding the scalpel’ around the large sheets of coloured and patterned Letraset film. Had drawers of the stuff, from A5 up to A0 and you’d go home with bits of it stuck to you and in your hair. Good (painstaking) times. Thanks Graham.
