Final Screen Prints

I feel my group is happy with out final outcomes, as they are made to a high standard and that the colours work well together, as although they are quite contrasting, they work together to show different elements of the piece. I found it a very informative process to work in groups through this, as it is not something I have done much before when looking at illustrative work. However, the ability to work as part of a team is a necessity for any practitioner, and I feel I have learnt a lot throughout this process, such as the allocation of jobs and negotiating who does which tasks so that we both play to everyones strengths and ensure that the workload is even throughout the team. In many ways I feel working in a team helped by practice in this instance, as I felt we got on with the job quickly and efficiently and I am very pleased that we completely created a screen printed book in less than 48 hours.

In addition, I feel that the mixed styles work really well within this context, as the colour and format ties them together and ensures that the book on a whole is very cohesive. One thing which we could have improved upon would be the lining up of the screen prints, as I think more care could have been take on some of them to ensure they were precise. However by the end I think everyone in the group was a lot more comfortable working with the two different colours and the precision of the placement of paint grew over time.

Overall, I am very pleased with what our group produced in such a short amount of time, as we ended up creating around 25 screen printed A6 books, as well as learning about screen printing, a relatively new process for many of us.
