Concept
Using a letterpress I printed the sentence "Here, but now they're gone". I made the words alternate on an axis. My goal was to make the words fade away to make it a play on words where the "Here" is more visible than the later words in the sentence to the point where "gone" is barely visible at all. The texturized part of the design was done using a cloth, and is meant to make it appear as though the words are blowing away in the wind as they fade out.
Goals
Letterpress print a five word sentence in a way that is relevant to itself.
