SB2 Process

As the brief requires, the final outcome must be completed using only traditional print methods. Our facilities at LCA would allow me to create a variation of different prints via different methods, such as lino, mono, embossing, screen print, letter press etc. Although because of the images I have used, as we as the information the image contains to be able to depict this in the most detailed way I will be using screen printing to produce my final outcome. 

In order to screen print my outcome negatives of each layer needed to be created through breaking down the image into sections. Each layer that requires a different type of inking to the previous must be on a different layer.

Each of these layers will be exposed onto my screen, and then printed in different orders depending on the layer they must over or under lay. Image when screen printing must be half-toned, this allows for the ink to become more and less dense in areas to represent light and shade within an image. As mine is very detailed I decided to halftone at 4pixels, this is the smallest amount of pixels in a halftone, allowing for the most accurate representation of the image, once halftone'd the image must again be made greyscale as I am overlaying a single block of colour on this image.

As this image was being printed in black and white, so another block coloured could be overlaid the design. it can be printed alongside with the text as this will need to be black throughout my design.
