Speaking to Nick, i've been told of a place called Armley Mills...
'Armley Mills contains exhibits from the 18th century to the present day and tells the history of manufacturing in Leeds, including textiles, clothing, printing and engineering. Housed in what was once the world's largest woollen mill, Leeds Industrial Museum houses a wealth of gems, nestled in a beautiful riverside location.'
This could be somewhere I would go to understand print more.
Thus far, I have booked time in the print studio to try different types of printing with an old wallpaper image idea that i produced for my major project of barbie heads.
Ive also ordered various wallpaper samples from companies online, and would also like to ring paper houses for samples as, within the printing process, what i choose to print on is just as important as what's printed.
I also came across the magazine PRINT...'design for curious minds', full of amazing images. They also hold competition briefs. An interesting article in it was an Interview with Adrian Shaughnessy and Tony Brook
by Charlotte West. "If you produce something with quality content, a high design quotient, and at a reasonable price, then designers will buy it. Quality always sells...'This is why i believe the print process is just as important as the digital print of today, looking through a print portfolio with the guys in print it was clear to see that through digital printing you dont achieve the same quality, and quirky look.
