The Making of Faculty

Photos from the production of Faculty 3.
Printed at M&G Graphics.
On paper by French and Finch.

A stack of cream text paper squared up on a pallet in the dark of the pressroom.
A pressman in a cap easing a lift of orange Glo-Tone sheets onto the feeder, a stack of yellow and grey stock underneath.
Printed sheets coming off the delivery end of the press in bands of blue, green and yellow paper.
A pressman holding a press sheet up to the light, five panels of hair growing into the shape of a Y.
Press sheets and a lettering spread clipped to an orange folder on top of the press console.
Two men talking across a pallet of printed sheets stacked purple on the shop floor, a scissor lift and the cutter behind them.
A man at the guillotine cutter, the M&G Graphics plate on the housing and the measure reading 11.250.
Printed green sheets riding out of a machine through a row of black fingers.
Printed sections and covers laid out along a marble bindery table beside a dummy and a pen, a wire cart of folded signatures behind.
Through the office window, a man in a plaid shirt and a woman at the front counter going over the job.
A finished copy of Faculty 3 held up, the die-cut cover showing an ASCII hummingbird through orange and pink paper.
