Final Screen Prints- 3 Colour + Spot Varnish
I decided to extend the brief further by producing a screen printed outcome of the design. This was mainly to better my understanding of print and to have a some fun. It was also nice to have a break from the computer screen and get messy for a while. I produced a 3 colour print with a spot varnish on top to give it that PVC latex quality to reinforce the sex appeal! I had a bit of trouble mixing my inks to start with and completely misjudged the colour which set me back a bit. I also had some trouble with the black layer, as there was too much binder in the mix which left an uneven coating on quite a few of the prints. I also had a lot of trouble with the spot varnish and struggled to get an even layer causing a patchy varnish which has let the prints down slightly. I would love to have ago at reprinting these when I have some more free time, and would definitely alter my layers to trap the ink and get rid of the white spaces where it has been slightly miss-registered.
