I've already made a start on one of my Extended Practice briefs and have produced a screenprinted poster for a Manuel Gottsching gig at Hebden Bridge which I went to a couple weeks ago. He's a German guitarist/electronic musician
I started out just by doing a couple of portraits, incorporating a checkered pattern in reference to the
album art of the record he performed and then realized that it would be nice to show that he also plays guitar, so thumbnailed this very quickly.
I then developed the thumbnails. I was pretty set on using columns of colour as it mimicked the visual display behind him while he performed. I also decided to silhouette him as it worked better with the strong bold shapes of the rest of the poster.
It took two separate days of printing because I messed up with the mixing of the ink and binder and the ink ended up really uneven and thin:
So the next day I got advice from several technicians about my ink/binder ratio and how to mix the appropriate colour:
I'm really pleased with the final result and the colours; although it was mentioned by a couple people that maybe the kerning of the two Ts could've been adjusted.
