Creative Practice 2

 Here's a few photos of the with the audience glued on to the pop up. Although it isn't the neatest, it still is a representation of the final pice I had imagined. I will go on to take off some of the excess black paper around the right side to neaten it up and then I will have finished my final piece. 

  During my screen printing I also decided to print on textured paper which I wanted to be my cover. I only made one unfortunately. So, when i realised the colour looked muddier than I imagined I knew I had to keep the title like that.  I then took some board and begin to glue and fold the paper on top. This was to make it look professional. Here's a few photos showing the process.  I did the same process with orange and white too. However, I decided that I wouldn't use the white as it looked to plain. 

In preparation for the screen printing, I needed to turn all of my coloured illustrations black and separate each colour per screen so there wasn't any confusion.  The first photo is showing the green illustrations. This was the colour that would be used a lot, so would need the most screens.  Orange;  Black;  Black is the colour I need to use first. Then orange and then green.  Here's what they looked like printed off. I did make a few changes so that the screens would fit more of my illustrations on. However, I still made sure the green and the orange were separate.  Here's a photo of just the black finished. At this point, I knew my illustrations would look good screen printed. This was because of the sharp lines that were created.  Here's a couple of photos of orange and black together.  Here's green. I did encounter a few issues with the green. The green ink mixed with orange turned the colour black. So, I decided I need to use a posca pen to...

  First, I had to trace my illustrations I created of the audience. And turn them into vectors. The tracing needed to be 0.03mm in stroke. And I made the illustrations red so the laser cutter knows where to cut.  As you can tell, for paper the laser stroke needs to be incredibly thin. When taking the paper out of the laser cutter, I realised that some line were too close together which made some of the figures flimsy.  Here's some photos showing the process with the laser cutter:  Final Outcome of the audience I think a few of these could be too big. However, overall they fit in a sequence together. I enjoyed using this process as the lines are sharp and so much better than if I tried doing it with a scalpel. All that needs to be done now is the screen printing and attaching these together.
