Nomad - Week Four

Today was Do What You Will day so I stuck to using my Promarkers and ink as I really like that effects. I found some nice marks that I really feel I can print with. I like that big and bold way of working with the promarkers.

I also tried some double layer drawings which I felt worked very well but my lecturer said that they represented more what I could do with print rather than the print itself. i.e. Using multiple layers of sheer fabrics.

I think I know what I want to take forward and photocopy for next week. There are drawings which really leap off the page yelling 'Pick Me! Pick Me!'

Next week we are choosing what goes onto acetate and then gets turned into an A2 screen for printing. This means I have some serious photocopying to do but honestly I think I may just photocopy them down to A4 then scan them in. Pick which parts I want to work with on Photoshop and print them out. Saves a lot of wasted paper and easier than cutting out tons.

I think I may want to make my samples on Photoshop too. I am really quite comfortable with Photoshop.  I really feel that's where I would get my best print ideas from. I can experiment freely and if it doesn't go the way I want it too I can manipulate it or change it quickly. It saves a lot of time. Sometimes photocopying can be useful too though.
