substrate

Print onto card, from some earphones i got, printing onto different substrates can make all the difference in terms of producing a print.

This company likes us to beleive is eco friendly, so it prints onto a natural looking substrate. Substrate is just as important as print most of the time, and can really push the aesthetic of a print further than the actual print.

Tints

Again, little friends of printmaking, but i wanted to post this give give an example of how tints are often used in contempory illustration. There's alot of shades of blue out there.. Just think if this illustration was filled with random spot colours, it would have nowhere near the same effect that this has, and that's all because of tints.

2 Colour

Little Friends of Printmaking:

Some wicked prints by the "Little Friends of Printmaking" these two images are examples of their two colour silkscreen prints. Two colour is so powerful - visually, if used correctly and I think this design collective nail it. To your brain. Give me their prints.

1 colour on stock

First post! the next few posts I'm going to put up on here will consist of designers I have found over the holidays that are print related, I just wat to use one example to show the various uses of colour relative to this brief (4 postcards).







Bryan Nash Gill:

Bryan nash gill uses tree stumps to make impressions onto substrate, its the most literal Woodblock print I've ever seen, and it looks really nice, the orignals are various in size, the one above is pretty massive. So yeah this is 1 colour (or ink,) on Stock. I think one colour prints look really efffective - especially when used in eco design such as this. I would love one of these prints on my bedroom wall in my room, deffo.
