Two Colour for Seven Colour



An invitation card by Duncan Hamilton for an exhibition by Sarah Crowner of Dexter Sinister. Under his working name, The Uses of Literacy, he designs, publishes, workshops and lectures. Explore the non-hierarchical index for his span of interests and actions. In terms of independent publishing, his use of the Riso and Ricoh digital duplicators, is very interesting. A build-up of solid and halftone colour with overprinting, passing the card back through the machine with changes of colour cartridge (see sequence here), arrived at the result which cites Max Bill's classic cover design for Johannes Itten's Die Farbe (via Reference Library).
