PYL- In Progress
Hey everyone. Welcome to part two of my blogging for our polymer plate printing project. Try saying THAT five times fast!
PYL- Concept
Hey y'all! So as my fellow classmates all know, right now we're in the process of creating, refining and doing the technical set-up for our polymer printing plates. We each get two 4x6 prints, and two colors for printing. We were also each given a pre-fix for the word "Made" (ie. man-made, pre-made, ready-made, ect.) Mine word is well-made. So let's take a look at what I've been working on!

SRS- Final
The Series piece is finally all done and turned it! That's a load off! Haha but I don't mean to make it sound like I didn't enjoy the project- because I did. A lot more than I thought I would too. I really enjoyed making a campaign, not just one piece that stands on it's own. I think that making series/campaigns is more applicable to the kind of work we'll all be doing after we graduate. I think it's doubtful we'll have many projects that are just ONE thing. For a concert you need posters, tshirts, tickets, advertisements... for ads, you might have magazine, newspaper, billboard... ect. When we get closer to graduating, we'll need business cards, a portfolio, website, ect. that all work cohesively together and communicate a strong, solid identity. So I think doing this project was really good practice for that.
GRWY- The Whole Sha-bang.
Okay- so here's each piece of my blogging for the Greenway piece. Concept, Process and Final.

PSTR- Final Critique
So here's my final critique for my poster. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it. I think the text at the bottom is my favorite part, and that's probably because I'm usually very conservative in my use of type. The image is usually the focal point, with the text being secondary, but in this poster, the text itself acts acts the main images, with the other images being the secondary element. I think I also like this poster a lot because my style is usually very clean and simple, and for this poster I got to push away from that and create something more grungy and exciting, which was fun for me. I do agree with the class feedback which said that it would be a more effective and attention-grabbing poster if it were scaled larger. When I revise the poster to be part of the Series, I'll definitely make it bigger. I'll also be makign it even more grungy, I'm thinking about finding a font that looks like it's been screen or block printed- but it would have to be a really convincing typeface, I don't want it to look cheesy or fake. So I'm looking into maybe actually printing the letters and phrases I want somehow, and then scanning them. We'll see how that turns out.
