With Brief two, our final resolution has to be screen printed in Vernon street. I've never done screen printing before, so there will be a lot of things i will need to think about. Paper thickness is important. According to Simon the thinnest gsm is around 50 and the thickest can really be as thick as you want it, so upwards to 500 gsm. The thinner the paper the more chance of the ink seeping through underneath.
Another aspect to think about is producing the positive and negatives. This process is extremely important to get right, if you don't produce this correctly then you could end up accidentally overlaying colours which you didn't want. Another area is line weights and sizes. Line weights should be thinner then 2pt and text shouldn't be lower then 8pt. Having type and lines to small could blotch the ink and ruin your design.
Ink's and paper colour are an important consideration, which hasn't really been covered. You have so many choices of ink styles from Neon, Gloss, Gold and even glow in the dark ink. All should be considered, as these inks can add an amazing touch and feel to the outcome instead of just using any bog standard colour.
