Letter press goes bloody hell

We were allocated a colour RED. Then we had to prepare some copy that reflects the meaning of the colour. By using the wooden letterforms we selected the style which we thought was appropriate to the copy and set the main part of the copy. We set the subsidiary copy in an typeface, then produced a paste - up (layout, based on 6 em grid) - the design included main copy, subsidiary copy and names in group. We made - up the wooden type and metal type into finished composition according our layout. We completed the project by printing the made - up form on the mechanical printing press.
