Johannes Gutenberg

This is my third term’s project......”How do we enrich our world

Under this teachers asked us to do the project.. ” how and what inspired or enriched your world”, and you have to dress up as that character.

They gave about one month time for preparation, we asked Rithvik what you want to do?,
He replied” I want to do the project about Rodger federal”.......we agreed ....and asked him to take his own time to think and give three options.

Next day he came up with three things that enriched his life-computers, books and mostly toys....:)
Finally he decided to do his project about books....we both were so much happy about his thinking and we started to study regarding the invention...period and who etc..........

We searched and finally found the printing museum....went there ,and studied about some basic information’s.....which we have not learned these many years...

Now Rithvik as Johannes Gutenberg.......who invented printing.


His name in type head......

The person who assemple heads know as compositor...now I'm as a compositor...:)





Before printing books are written by hand using quill feathers as this....



The compositor compose the page from assembling the heads from upper case and from lower case which are globally same in all printing presses....that’s why we all call the alphabets as upper case and lower case letters.......


Rithvik in science lab....experimenting something...........the ??mark above his head tells that he is thinking toooooo much......



At school as Johannes Gutenberg....actually he was wearing moustache and beard....that hangs in his chest ....itchyyyyyyy.



In this we helped him to write the heading and to draw lines, remaining words are written by his own.......

  2. This was so interesting and looks like it was a great report, well thought out and researched. I particularly liked it because my neighbor how lives down the hill below us, has several printing presses and two rooms filled with drawers very organized of all the letters, etc.

    Nice blog and I'll check back.

  3. What a wonderful project! Books do enrich our lives, although since we all now have computers, I'm afraid they may become obsolete!
