These are the results of my attempt at Silk Screen prints. I chose to print the poster for the Swimming witho
ut water exhibition. This poster had a lot of typographical detail, so it was quite a complex design to try out first time. The results are a bit mixed; there is parts of the design where too much ink has flooded the paper, and parts where not enough ink has penetrated the screen. This is probably down to the fact that I didn't have the correct squeegee to push the ink onto the screen. On the plus side, you can get a good overall impression of the design but without the fine detail I was hoping for. The prints give a vintage aged look, which reflect the design style and influence.Overall I found the process quite frustrating, but got some good advice from contributors at stencilrevolution.com. Not having the right tools for the job also hindered me, but will attempt some more prints when I have a design that is suitable.
