SCREENPRINTING DAY1

I went screenprinitng today. As Ben wants us to have screen printed mock-ups for the crit on Thursday and Friday. The last time I screen printed was a total failure and I was so worried that it would happen the same as last time. I stripped 2 small screen for my 2 design as i wanted the design on A5s for the final outcome.

bled on the plastic sheet for testing out. This might be due tot the uneven spread of emulsion on the screen or the fast-drying of paint. 

When printed on actual paper, the designs just wouldn't print and paint could barely print on the paper. Could hardly see design on paper. 

pushed harder with the spongee and still, uneven spread of paint.

The whole day was spent screenprinting and the outcome just did not turn out well. This was so discouraging. I tried both designs many times, but they just wouldn't work out. Therefore, I decided to go again on Thursday. Since the designs that I used today were not the finalised one, they were just for testing out screenprinting, I might come up with a better design on Thursday and re-strip and re-expose everything.
