Description
These are several variants of two compositions printed from multiple plates in several colours: Studio per Azione B.D.O. Carabiniere, Studio per Azione B.D.O. Cambiale. For the first stages of preparing the text plates, computer assistance – as it was called in the 1990s – and a cutting plotter were used. An anticipation of today's experiments in integrating digital processes and traditional printing techniques.
