The Bell Jar: screen print

I screen printed the Bell Jar posters today, and while I couldn't quite mix the right colours (still need practice), I think it makes for a striking poster.


I also thought it might look cool and vintage-y by changing the paper to off-white on Photoshop.
I used the arm to pull the squeegee but still had a few problems with pressure in the corners. Even though I usually get annoyed by these errors, I found myself not minding them so much with this print.

I think it's good that I'm trying to use these book cover briefs to beef up my portfolio by doing similar things with each cover, but then also doing something unique per book - animated trailer for Lolita and screen print for The Bell Jar.
