Currently my interests are focused on product/packaging and hand-drawn type or type as image. Until recently, I never really gave type a second thought. I'm no expert at drawing it so I'm embracing the learning curve and lo-fi/'I don't really know what I'm doing' aesthetic.
My recent antics with screen printing during OUIL504 Process & Production: Studio Brief 3, got me really excited about this process of image making and I was itching to do some more. During assessment week I had a day in the print room and I experimented with a one layer design - I just changed the stock. I hadn't previously experimented with many different coloured stocks in any of the processes I've used before and I really liked the results. I actually think some of the neon cards I used make the most interesting prints - it's also a great way to create different 'editions' of your work.
Next time I'm in the print room I want to focus on creating some sort of product. I bought some blank tote bags with the intention of screen printing some designs on but I'm not sure whether to use the same design or to do something different?
