RSA Competition Project - Posters & Publication

Brief:



This project is especially for secondary school kids



to show and demonstrate what powerful things



design can do.

​

Task: Create 6 A3 poster ideas

For this project I decided to involve the technique of​

​

screen-printing. To introduce this medium to​

​

secondary school kids as an activity because out of​

​

my research I discovered that kids these days are

​​

too much involved in virtual games - "Game boy

​​

print" (image 3 & 4)

The main purpose was to create an information



design piece to especially show and demonstrate



secondary school kids the process HOW to screen



-print in an easy visual way> See red & blue screen



-print discription below. I visualised with my own



illustrations how to use screen printing. (image 9)

My main focus within this project was to show what



the medium of screen-printing could do but at the



same time involving a quote, which makes people



think…



I’m also demonstrating the 3D effect with 2 colours



made in print (see cover image above).

(image 8 & 10)​

​

The technique of 4 colour (CMYK) screen-printing​

​

was important for me to include because with this​

​

process it is possible to print images so that the look

 like pictures with the small difference of having

​​

raster points instead of pixel. See image with light​

​

bulb. The message says: Isn’t it great when ideas​

​

just work?



I took this phrase in combination with the idea of​

​

printing on acetate. Printing every layer on a​

​

separate acetate and when they overlap the give

​​

the full image. This engaging composition creates​

​

again ambiguity.(image 6-7) 

Image 5 shows the effect what happens if you print



black ink on black paper. In this case it was a shiny,



glossy paper. The effect of matt and glossy but int



the same colour can give an invisible effect. I used



embossing as well to press the typeface into the



glossy part:





"Design makes invisible - visible"
