My project is a set of 3 screen prints based on the characters and writing of Haruki Murakami from his book 'Hardboiled Wonderland & The end of the world' As i hadn't heard of many of the authors on the list i took a punt with Murakami and the more i researched into his work i found myself more interested in the recurring themes in his books, namely the surrealism and his references to western culture.
Everything started out as rough scamps, which i developed and developed, then came back and developed some more before making the final designs as vector, then making them screen-print ready in Photoshop. I chose screen printing as its something i told myself i would try and do as much as possible when i joint the course and have only done it a couple of times up to now, so this was a good chance to get fully versed and lot more experience of it under my belt, as frustrating as the results often turned out to be.
I have started to appreciate the look and feel of hand crafted print a lot more than when i started this and definitely feel a greater sense of achievement with my end results.
