Studio Brief 02
Research

For this brief my proposed outcome has to be traditionally printed, so that could either be screen print, mono print or letterpress. At this stage I believe the best outcome would be to screen print my design, for its unique visual result it creates, have the choice of printing special inks and being able to print onto various materials / stock. I decided to research into screenprinting more but in particular artists and studios who specialise in this printing method.

French Fourch

French Fourch is a studio along with independent publishing house in Paris. The studio has a main project called 'Bastonnade' which simply means 'beating', the project aims to showcase talent by exhibiting their work, the directors at French Fourch have spent the last year travelling through seven countries collecting 50 exclusive prints to exhibit. This was helpful research as it was good to see other screen prints in exhibition, seen as my final outcome will be exhibited itself as a show.

Heretic

Heretic is a screenprinting and illustration studio based in London. Their work usually involves blending elements of collage and drawing which maybe an option to consider for my designs. I checked the studios website out and was instantly inspired by the combination of lines and experimental drawings they commonly do within the designs.

Jim O'Raw

A print maker, contributor and in-house artist of People of Print, Jim O’Raw has a distinct style of using fluro colours in a CMYK process, Jim’s artwork promises to be original and provides the feel of looking at faded film-developed photos.
