Texture: This probably looks nicer










As I won't be able to print onto these until thu/fri

I need to photshop some on ....for the design boards tomorrow

Texture







I made paper today!

















waiting for them to dry and getting them tomorrow morning and then I'm going to try screen print onto them

also, I was talking to someone and they said that Jame might be able to print onto them on the digital printers.....

but will have to see

I made 3 large papers
and 2 a4 ones

so I'm going to try and print the A4 ones on my normal inkjet printer and see what that looks like

also...If I can print them digitally...I'll be more likely to be able to make it into a calendar

with screen print...making a calendar with small types would just be too tricky...also the ink will probably bleed quite a lot ( according to the print man at Blenheim)

but then again...i dont know how the ink will be like on the digital printer...I'll have to see

Poster/Calendar.....

Okay...
So

tomorrow I need to go to Vernon street/ print to talk to the print people about making paper out of old scrap paper and then screen printing onto it.

I've looked up ways you can make you're own paper DIY style but it seems to make a whole load more sense if I made it in a workshop with proper equipments and people who actually know what they're doing..


I have a problem though...I booked print for today with James and I'd been spending so much time making my hotdog fold booklet and my packaging that I didnt actually make poster to screen print with so......

I printed off my booklet and my packaging

but unless I can drop in with James tomorrow and print off my poster design onto A2 ...I'm going to have to print it out on A3 and expose that onto a screen....

which would work perfectly fine, if I was just doing a type poster....but


I wanted to make a calendar and that is definitely impossible to make with sheets of A3 to be exposed onto a screeen....the layout etc will be shocking...

So, I'm in a dilemma...do i just make a poster or calendar?

I guess once I've made the paper, I can always photoshop the calendar design onto it as a mock thing??


So many things to do tomorrow!!!
