Hotdog Book & Screen Printing


The jar to the left was the image that I collaboratively created with Lauren. I'm actually quite pleased with it. Its an interesting thing, although for future it would be good to think more about how the lines will look once they have been printed. These ones are a bit patchy and too narrow to make the most of the effects that screen printing can have.

Another important lesson learnt along this project was the best ways to create negative. Our group just used sharpie pens on the specialist clear sheets, but sharpie doesn't expose that strongly so it meant that our whole book was a little too faint. In the future I will have to remember to use a different media such as gouache apparently works quite well. Or simply to print out the negatives in black and white.
