Helmut Stenzel
Helmut studied Graphic Design at the Ballarat College of Advanced Education, (now Federation University) and later Education at the Hawthorn Institute of Education. He later returned to the University of Ballarat, as a Lecturer and then after taking a break to develop his Graphic Design business, he then took up a position of lecturer, Coordinator Graphic Design/Multimedia. This was followed by a period lecturing in Communication Design, at RMIT University. Over the span of his professional life he has been recognized both Internationally and in Australia, in his field of expertise, receiving a number of Awards: Art Directors Club, NY, (Gold Cube) and The Type Directors Club, NY, as examples. He has been invited to sit on judging panels for Design Awards and competitions, assessing at a Masters level internationally and consulting on course designs in Australia and overseas. He currently works in a diverse range of creative media and is pursuing a strong interest in typography and the process of traditional Letterpress printing. The Printing process: All images appearing in this exhibition are individually handset, locked up and printed using the Letterpress printing method on presses dating back to the late 19th century. The letterforms are rare large wooden printing blocks which form part of a larger collection obtained internationally and locally over a number of years. Each letter is unique as it has had its own journey, this can be seen by the individual marks reproduced on each of the printed outcomes. Arrangements can be made, should you wish to commission an alternative letter. EM: [email protected] |
