speaking from experience, posters-new printing method
Everything happens for a reason, I didn't get a very early print slot, and I really want to have final visuals pretty soon. I was thinking that a lot of my design context has been screen printing, I think the style of my posters would actually compliment this particular printing method. I will either narrow down my prints to three colours only (which can be done with the banana one and the sandwich one), but not sure about milk one. This will be a very long process, if I am doing three or four screens for one print. I will definitely print the sandwich one but need to consider the other two, I think the maroon background of the banana one would look really good screen printed. Pretty excited to print them actually, the quality of the posters will be a lot higher now that I am going through this process. Far more exciting than just digital printing. I will still be digital printing the key rings and fridge magnets because they would be too small to screen print and also I would need another load of screens.
MINI CRIT FEEDBACK
I had a small crit with some other students and John, I was a little unsure whether I should produce the flyers because I thought they might just be a bit pointless in the sense that if there are posters available then they communicate exactly the same thing. I didn't really have anything to put on the back of the flyers to make them purposeful. John suggested I leave the flyers as he agreed with what I was saying. The screen printing idea also went down well, as block colour apparently looks really nice screen printed. Now I just need to get down to Vernon Street.
