I began thinking about applying the print technique to competition briefs, and from talking to David, i got a look in at some websites and groups that post briefs, but with no pressure, just a competition for space really on the website, from a previous 3rd years blog. These included...
'www.shopliftgallery.co.uk
'http://www.pocketfulmag.com/'
... although now im not sure i will deffinitly get involved with something this, i deffintly want to remember theyre there and enter some throughout the year. I will also update this list.
Something I was interested in looking into this year, which I briefly spoke about in my PPD presentation at the end of last year was the wallpaper industry. Creating wallpapers and repeat pattern has been something i've always been interested in just have no idea where to start. I've been to the guys at print and asked them a few questions regarding wallpaper and they told me that it is done there... but is tricky to produce rolls. However i only want to produce strip of my final designs.
In working with Wallpaper on a moderately big scale i will be looking into...
Traditional Printing: - Exploring availabilities in the workshop, such as lino, screen printing, etching, mono print etc.
- How it works on a time scale and pricing
- Getting opinions from my audience and what they are most attracted too. (Traditional V Digital).
- Where freelance print artists are at now and if they've been successful in their work.
... and comparing it with...
Digital Print: - What skills are needed in formatting images for print.
- Visiting digital printers/industry printers and asking lots of questions regarding price and time.
- Also creativity that may be lost in using this process and the idea of a certain quirkyness being taken from an image you have produced yourself through digital print.
