Specimen, Fanette Mellier Context: Pôle graphisme de Chaumont, 2009 
Printed by: Imprimerie du Petit-Cloître
 Description: 120 × 176 cm
This poster, announcing a series of “graphic design and publishing” themed shows, isn’t a conventional image. It’s more of a printed object linked to its subject. The front, fully saturated with color and technical elements related to printing (scale 1), is offset printed with a very thin raster. This space saturation, like an obsessive canvas, presents graphical tools that are a common vocabulary for books makers. The title and info are printed on the back. The fold lets the title appear: the poster becomes informative and evokes at the same time the delicate materiality of a page.

I've seen yall talking about the eroticism of the machine and I think it's time for my two cents;
A printer, is not a brat. She is a good girl. She is trying her best. Sometimes (most of the time), her best isn't enough.
You send a document to print. She looks at you, embarrassed. Something is wrong with the drum unit, the tiny display reads. So you pop open her plastic casing and pull out the drum unit.
Nothing appears wrong with it.
You blow off a few specks of dust, carefully slip it back into place, and close the casing once more. She beeps happily, the pages begin to run through her, and you both carry on with your work.
That's how it happened the first dozen times, anyways.
Now, it looks more like this:
You send a document to print. She turns to you, face as red as her indicator lights. You sigh and pop open her casing, not even bothering to read the display.
You jiggle her drum unit roughly; you already know nothing is wrong with it. She makes a breathless little noise and reaches out, putting a hand on your shoulder to steady herself.
Every move you make is practiced, in a rough and careless way. You handle her with exactly enough force not to break her.
She was built for this, anyways. The entire point of her design was easy access, easy service. She was built for your hands to root around in, because everyone knew this was always going to happen.
And of course it's not her fault. But this is the third time in as many hours and if things take much longer you'll miss your next break.
You judge her drum unit has had enough jostling for the time being, and unceremoniously slam her casing shut again.
You keep your hand on it as you look up at her; it's not quite a threat, and if her heavy breathing and wide eyes are any indication, she took it as a promise.
After a long moment, her indicators return to green. The pages begin to run through her, and you both carry on with your work.
But you both know you'll be elbow deep in her a few more times before the day is done

Drawers that once held printer’s type are an effective means of displaying anything small enough to fit within their many partitions. Don’t be afraid to mix old with new or feel obliged to stick within one category - the more varied the assortment of miniatures, the better.

I bought a book from the supermarket and all it had inside was loose, old filled-out exams and cmyk printer ink tests.

Hey!
I want to thank you all for all the support the Dot drawing received! I started working on the idea for Dot nearly a month ago, and chipping away at the design helped ease me through some loss and sad times this past February. I'm not used to getting such explosive reception to a post, but I'm thankful for all the love and support.
Anyways, off 'me soapbox- here's a little appreciative Dot.
