Me and Ollie decided we wanted to be involved in the next book fair, and discussed using that as a change to produce something which has technical print driving it. We decided we wanted to print a run of 6 colour screen prints, and as I have alot of illustration at the moment we decided it would be good to use some of it within this project as well as my more comprehensive brief for paper scissors stone.
I started by colouring this image using 6 colours. I went with warm tones in the end, but it would make it possible to turn this image into the feature for a 6 colour screen print. Both me and Ollie decided we wanted to use the side profile image as its a stronger image, and Ollie is currently applying a hand drawn type treatment and a border to the image, to frame it off and make it feel more wholistic as a poster, and hopefully more desirable when it comes to selling them at the book fair. At the moment the format we are thinking about using here is A1. We are both gearing this whole thing around challenging ourselves when it comes to print.
Here is what Ollie is proposing.
Ollie has started to work this up digitally, this is his current progress with the type, currently we have printed out greyscale proofs to discuss.
This is working quite well, but We have both agreed that Ollie can take the type resolve a bit further in therms of the form of the characters and in the way Ollie utilises the space on the page. I think its looking like a strong visual at the moment, and with finishing touches around the corner this will be ready to print, and no doubt printed, long before the book fair in March.
