Laughing Mouse Press

---

Laughing Mouse Press is an editorial design studio run by Yinying Hu (China) and Maciej Przylecki (Poland) based in London, which tries to not take itself too seriously. Their approach to editorial design is narrative-driven with an emphasis on analog printing processes, and the incorporation of found material and printed ephemera.

They are currently undertaking an MA in Graphic and Media Design at the London College of Communication

Hot Metal Cold Type


Hot Metal Cold Type is a visual essay looking at historical examples of automation, their impacts on the graphic design industry and its workers and comparing it with present day fears of Al automation. 
Using archival images from the last day of the Linotype at the New York Times, paired with Adobe Max Keynote images it aims to question the hype produced by Al technology, and urges designers to think more critically about technological advancements and their possible impacts on the profession.
