Screenprinting

Screen printing 

Using found inks and paper was an initial idea of producing the designs as it prevented buying new materials and therefore linked to the message.

Before screen-printing the text on the back had to be printed, however this difficult as only some of the found paper was able to be put through the printer as some of the textured paper was too thick. 

When screen-printing the designs, it was difficult using the found inks to create block colour as the options of colours were limited and there was not enough of each to produce a clean block colour. It was also difficult to achieve a smooth finish on the different paper types and therefore it was attempted to remove the background colour and just print the shape. This caused the design to look too bare and had a more negative aesthetic. There were also practical issues with leaking emulsion on the screen causing the shapes be faded in some sections.
