When screenprint the posters I had a number of setbacks. A screen that I had reserved and freshly coated was taken on the day I had scheduled to do my printing, meaning I had to strip and coat a new screen, which too an extra day to locate and do. Although I was a day behind with the printing I managed to print the first layer of the posters, the pink silhouettes of the hands. Because of the now shortened time span I had to create the posters, the prints did not come out as intended, with most containing patchy areas. I then did not have time to screenprint the second layer of detail, but instead finished the posters by hand. However, these errors worked in favour of the project, as the misprinted shapes added an extra element of texture that added to aesthetic of the print, and the hand finished details helped to portray the idea of using your hands to create work, and that sometimes a hand-finished product can be more personal. In a peer critique the hand-finished details had the most positive reaction, with many saying that they preferred this outcome to the print to a screenprinted version. It was noted that the colours were engaging and would be appropriate for students of varying ages and genders.
Throughout this module the use of physical printing techniques has been prevalent and I have expanded my used of screenprintng and letterpress within my work. I feel confident that next year I will be able to continue using these processes and push my knowledge and skills within these areas even further.
