About the Author- Hand screen print test

I finally put my ideas into actual practice through screen print, and in order to break through my recent stagnation in work, it was a fairly quick, rough test

What worked?
- The abstract forms do work well together to create a hidden image, which does reflect Yutangs passion for translation and interpretation
- I found my working process really useful, as going from sketches to cut paper to paintings to cut templates to prints ensured I really understood how my shapes worked together, and what they would create
- The photoshopped version in blue and yellow works a lot better by calling out a stronger contrast in the third colour

What could I improve?
- Colour difference wasn't strong enough- It definitely blended more through drying, and although I did keep adding more yellow ink to the medium, the contrast isn't as strong as I would have liked
- The precision of the shapes wasn't too good, and the edges don't match up as smoothly as I would have liked

What next?
- Re expose with more precise shapes
- Spend time choosing colours which will work well with overprinting
- Start developing other shape based imagery
