LetterMPress Kickstarter Project Is An Early Sign Of The New iPad Direction
Perhaps the most beautiful Kickstarter project I have ever seen (sorry RoboCop statue) LetterMPress is a virtual letterpress app for the iPad, created by designer and typographer John Bonadies. Already in prototype, Bonadies is seeking $15,000 to release the world's first tablet letterpress envirnoment, aiming for the end of the summer.LetterMPress allows you to arrange type on the iPad much like an original letterpress, using the touch screen to arrange, lock and ink type on the "press bed," er iPad screen. The app uses virtual cut and ink graphics, copied from actual vintage press sets. And while you can print out your creations using Air Print or by uploading the files to your computer, part of Bonadies' plan is to by actual vintage sets and offer authentic letterpress prints from the designs submitted by LetterMpress users.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/lKrCfrH7N9I/
