Visited @jaimeowens at @transworldskate yesterday and was shown a few boxes containing the original hand done layouts of the first few issues. Kids, we did these the old way, by hand, before computers or digital cameras and with rulers, triangles, t-squares and x-acto knives! I had not seen this cover layout from August 1984 of @staabpirate1 since 1984😳. Scroll to see Cover.

Photogram, circa 1998. Inspired by Man Ray, I made this one afternoon when I worked as a prepress artist in the printing industry. These are some of the old pre-illustration software tools of the trade. I am extremely grateful for having had this training and experience. #graphicdesign #prepressoperator #prepressartist #screenprinting #beforecomputers #manray #photogram #filmstripping (at Hamilton, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUXDFAXDWuG/?utm_medium=tumblr

Throwback to the early '80s. Who remembers Madison's at the Pen Centre. I created this menu back when cut and paste was truly cut and paste, hand drawing, rubiliths, pmts and printing nightmares. #tbt #menuart #beforecomputers #cutandpaste #graphicdesign #retro80s #artwork #printing #designservices #marketing https://www.instagram.com/p/B4AZr8NnqdE/?igshid=n7y0oc8qhvs0

Throwback Thursday to the a little piece of equipment I used while working with the 8th Air Force in England during World War II.

Original Lace patterns and punch cards that translate the design. (And some of our wallpaper too!) There patterns were painted by hand and are so intricate. We are very fortunate to have over 50,000 hand painted designs in our archives spanning the past 200 years. #archives #handpaintedpattern #lacepattern #punchcards #beforecomputers #originalpatterns #workmanship #talentedartists #weaving #heritagemill #madras #scottishtextiles #provenance https://www.instagram.com/p/BoObbHqhhmE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rwqxe34z5hx3
