Embrace the Mistakes!

Designers spend an enormous amount of time trying to get their prints perfect... Sometimes we need to sit back and take a look at the mistakes we make, rather than writing them off immediately. They can sometimes be more interesting than the final it's self! Here are a set of screen prints I did, using compositions of shape and colour - I then zoomed in on the mistakes.

Stamp Me!!!

An expressive/playful experiment exploring the notions of positive and negative.

Shredded Helvetica

Thinking about how different processes can distort and make typography unreadable.

Paper Making

Whilst developing ideas for my print process project, I thought it was essential for me to also look into paper and the way it's made! The way you print is just as important as what you print onto!

My paper didn't turn out as well as I was expecting, but I had fun engaging in the process and being away from the computer screen! My photographs during making the paper express the fun I had! I would encourage anyone to make their own paper... not for the outcome but for the experience!

These are the simple instructions I followed: http://www.laceimports.com/michelle/projects/paper_instr.html

Sound & Vision

These are maps to represent The Avalanches-Frontier Psychiatrist. An insane song with alot of expression. Below is a representation of the feeling I get when listening to the song. I used my periodic table key where I have created a different colour for each word. Every time a word was said I put the correct colour in its place. I then multiplied my result, with the number of words in the song, to get this explosion of colour.

Lost in Time

Here's some work which I created over the summer, before my second year term began. We had to base it on the time we had off. I worked on the concept that when you lose the structure of your day you lose track of time.
