After reprinting the design everyone I showed agreed that the second prints were more successful. It gave the design not only a better look aesthetically but also that the design looked purposeful and had the traditional print feel with a slightly misaligned print on top of the white layer. This project was fun to look into different print methods, it allowed me to look at methods I may not have considered in the past like; monoprinting, lino print or etching the only issue is that theses methods were more time consuming and costly than the method I used going against my research and development. In the end it was good to go back and reprint the design to get a cleaner better looking design. The design showed off the event and showed clearly relevant information. Sometimes it is better to go back once one method may not have produced the desired product even if it is time consuming because in the future you will know what works and save time rather than messing up each time. This may seem like an obvious point but it is something I sometimes don't account for and instead hand in mediocre work rather than something produced to the best of my ability. Overall this project has left me wanting to continue with screen printing more than I have ever wanted to in the past. I just feel like this method has so much to lend itself to and always gives a more unique design making work a bit more desirable. I also plan to create a series based on events from Leeds university that if finished in time I will come back and post alongside this project.
