I think this method would hinder the amount of creativity that could be put into a design. Whilst, it is truly fascinating and cool how he puts so much time into each letter, I can imagine that after doing all of that work, I’m not sure I would still want to, or be able to make a design with type similar to that which we make in class. I would love to learn how to do all punchcutting, but it really does make me appreciate modern design programs by putting into perspective the amount of time it used to take to set type. It must have been so incredibly frustrating to get something wrong after you had worked so long to make it perfect. Watching these videos gave me a lot of respect for the people who had to do this.
