A couple of days before screen printing I had a few issues with my design. What I wanted to screen print was going to be at least 6 colour separation. 7 colours is a massive challenge as I only had a week till the deadline. Within this in mind I needed some help to decide how I can combat this issue. I asked Simon about this issue and he suggested that I could either find other alternative ways to print the design without screen printing or combine a number of methods to achieve the detailed design.
Simon also suggested that I could even simplify the design. Take away the visuals and only have the geometric shapes for the sake of the exhibition. It was a hard decision, I looked into Lino and mono printing and to be honest they didn't seem very engaging and exciting as screen printing. My only rule within each project is to make sure I'm enjoying what I'm doing and Lino and mono printing isn't my idea of enjoyment as previous experiences have told me.
In the end I decided to simplify the designs and screen print them. The biggest issue with this is the concept. I wasn't sure if the concept was going to become lost or confusing. Will people be able to understand what the notes represent? The only way to get over this problems is with an effective description of my bank notes within the exhibition.
