Teach Me How to Screen Print

Seriously, though. I took a printmaking class at the newly named University of North Georgia (previously Gainesville State) this past spring and it was absolutely amazing. Learning several printmaking processes has come to be the primary inspiration to any of my artwork. Although I did linocut, monotype, etching, and intaglio printing, I unfortunately never screen printed. Which brings me to my current project, the event poster design. Naturally, graphic design and printmaking go hand-in-hand. I found some beautiful screen printed posters by a Chicago couple that completely blew me away. I've never seen graphic design approached in this manner at all. Check them out.


Here's a poster they made for one of my favorite bands, The Antlers. I hope to approach this project with a similar sense of abstraction and boundary-breaking as they have in their amazing designs.
