Studio brief 1 screen printing

transferring the design to the screen was a success, went better than i hoped (except the fact that someone stole my coated screen which was a nightmare). With the design on now, i wanted to start experimenting and there where three colours that i wanted to use:

- Black as the half tone would give the closest colour outcome to that to what it looks like on screen
- Pink as its a strong colour that speaks to both genders. plus it has gotten a nostalgic rep over the years
- Orange, similar to that of pink but its a colour that works well with half tone

the outcomes where all great and came out so clear as well:

Issues I tackled:

- had to make sure there was a thin layer of paint that filed the screen otherwise it bleeds and loses the half tone

- top left corner wasn't printing for most of the prints which caused issues as i would have to go over this again which goes back to the first issue

before printing onto the final stock, i wanted to get the feedback on the prints ive already done (me personally, i feel the pink has prints grab the consumers attention and draws them into the poster. Orange is too light on the stock to stand out. Black captures the half tone really well but its too dark for what i want from this brief )

feedback

after talking to peers about the prints, the majority of them agreed with me in terms of pink being a better outcome than the rest to follow with and would stand out much clearer on the rag & Fibre bagasse paper i aim to use.
