FOIL BLOCKING


I have always wanted to either foil block or spot varnish onto my final posters. Here I tested out foil blocking with the old logos I was going to use. The reason I decided to go with spot varnish over foil blocking was so ensure that the colour remains consistent throughout the posters design. The poster only contains one colour and stock. If I were to use spot varnish, I could keep the right colour, but also get the shiny, smooth finish I would like. 
Unfortunately the spot varnish available to me doesn't have the strongest effect, although I could state it is what I want, after seeing the effect of the foil blocking, I think it's a really nice print effect I need to use. 

If I'm going to use foil blocking, I think I'll use it on the logo, top centered image. I need to decide what colour to use, one colour running consistently throughout? Perhaps a multi tonal colour, rainbow?
