OUIL504- Printed Pictures- Screenprinting

I didn't think it was possible to be generally quite terrible at something very simple, until I tried screenprinting. I really cant seem to get it right, each time I try it something goes wrong, The colours bleed, the screen is too small, the image is backwards, always something.

I do actually quite like how screenprints look. I think the aesthetic is something that can easily be recreated digitally but I think for physical prints, there's just something about a screenprint that has the edge over digital, I think it might be how tactile they can be compared to digital prints, there's just something special about them.

However for this brief, this is as far as my screenprinting will go, glad I tried it, I will look towards using the screenprinted images and manipulating them digitally.




Laughably, the two images above were the best ones that came out of my brief relationship with screenprinting. I exposed the images onto screens that were too small so could properly push the colour through. I kind of like the almost shadow like mistakes behind however.

Also I'm told the colour I used is blue and not green.
