Printing

 What was I trying to achieve?
- Create a wide range of colour palettes and 'stages of completeness' using my already prepared screens
- Wanted to see how the tone of the same print could change solely through a change in colour
- Also want to see if people can still recognise the images even when they are deconstructed so severely- Is colour that important?
- Wanted to create versatile prints which could have many, ambiguous applications

How did it go?
- I ended up using 7 different colours, and printing 9 times in order to get combinations I was happy with
- Didn't have enough time or paper to explore colour ways as thoroughly as I would have liked- could have planned earlier in order to ensure I had the whole day to work on it
- Found the process really quick, as I taped off the sections I wasn't using, then swapped without washing the screen, meaning I only had to wash it when I wanted to use a different colour on a specific quarter- this meant I only had to wash the screen twice rather than 9 times!
- Think some of the prints are a bit too bright and contrasting, but then I suppose I wanted to see how many different themes I could get from them

What am I going to do tomorrow?
- Finish binding of zine and creating boxes
- Maybe try reprinting with the lino
- Finish off essay tweaks
- GO TO AMBASSADOR TRAINING 12-4!!

Halfway through printing

Binding first zine halfway through

Selection of some print outcomes

Evaluation

- Quite like the effect of the single prints- give an abstract view of my subject

- Don't think the red ink works very well, I think it fights the other colours too much for attention

- Was surprised by how well on a whole the colours work together, as I hadn't thought much about cohesion, but they seemed to mix well, think it might be the use of 'raw colours' CMYK in most of them to tie them together

- If I were to repeat this process, I would plan out and mix the specific colours beforehand
