Process

After designing the graphic, I printed it onto a translucent vinyl and taped it onto an emulsified screen to prep for exposure. Then, I rinsed off the parts that were left unexposed in order to leave space for the paint to come through and screen printed on a variety of substrates: paper, canvas, cotton, and denim.

Outcome

Throughout the screen printing process, I learned about the technicalities of designing for output, such as the minimum stroke weight I could use in order to maintain a solid line when printing.

I also found that the process of screen printing took a lot of trial and error; however, experimenting with different substrates allowed me to discover which ones would print the best.

This was a valuable project that allowed me to explore a different medium and learn about a new process while exercising my creativity.
