Printing Process

Relief

Relief printing process is when someone draws a picture into a wooden block or lithium metal. Then they use a roller that has ink all over it, then covers it with ink. Then they will put a piece of paper flat on the wooden or metal block. Then they use a roller to flatten out and press the paper on the carved block then you peel the paper off the block and then your done. You can carve the block by useing a chemical then drawing a sketch on a piece of paper then tracing it into the block with pen or sketch it out on the block and use different types of carving tools. 

Intaglio

This print process starts with a plate of medal which goes through a cleaning process then it gets some ground applied which is a combo of asphalt and rosin then it is spread all over the surface of the medal plate. Then the metal plate is smoked under a fire. Then the sketch gets scratched on and removes the ground with acid. Then its ready to print by using ink.


Lithography

This printing process uses a stone slap then draws with something greasy. once the sketch is drawn gum arabic and rosin are used to treat the stone. Then use more gum arabic to cool down the stone. Then buff the stone. The drawing material is the replaced with acphaltium.  Get the surface wet then dry it then put ink on  it immediately to bring up the image.

Reflection

I would want to try Intaglio because that one just looked the most fun process out of all of them and I like the method of making the ground and scratching it off to make the sketch. These older printing processes seems a lot harder and would cost more money. It also costs these artist more time and effort they have to put into their work.

Graphic Design Final

My Favorite Projects Typography Graphic My 3rd favorite project was the typography projects. We found some of our favorite quotes that were meaningful to us and then made a graphic design out of it. The project took about 2 weeks. Some challenges I faced were just trying to find the right color schemes for each of my graphics. Some new skills I learned were how to use different types of pens to create different styles of strokes and textures. I took feedback on my color schemes. I changed the style of the spider because it did not work well when I filled it in with color. I think overall it turned out pretty well I think there is some room for improvement though.  Concert Advertising  My 2nd favorite project was the concert advertisement. What we had to do was pick an artist or musical artist and create a poster, tickets, and poster. This project took about 3 weeks. The challenges I faced were just trying to figure out how to put ever single piece of information ...

Semester 1 Final

Reflection This semester I have learned a lot. Like using Photoshop and Illustrator. I like Photoshop personally because it is a lot easier to learn and I like photography and editing my photos better than making graphics on Illustrator. My two favorite Photoshop projects have been one of the first ones we did, which is the "Nature Man" one. I also really liked the Panorama one. Nature Man For this project we were given a picture of this man and a bunch of nature pictures. We had to put them together by using clipping masks to create a "Nature man". I do not remember how long this took because we did this project at the beginning of the year. I had trouble just getting started and trying to decide what I wanted my vision for him to be. I honestly just played around with it until I made something I liked. I learned how to use photoshop a lot better like using those clipping masks to put more than 1 picture together to create just one picture. The feedback ...

Pop Art

About The Project Before For this project we got a partner chosen randomly and we had to take pictures of them. once we did we had to choose one to turn into a style of pop art by using photoshop. I did that by using the brush tool and blend moved to change the colors and make it more bright and vibrant. I also added a filter to it too. I also used masks to make the background and change the color without going outside of the lines with different shapes. Then I used the shape tool to add something a little more to the background. I made circles then I used a color blend mode to make the shapes overlap to make a different color which I thought looked cool.  After The Process  I began with just messing around with different colors then I just chose the one I liked the best because I didn't think they would look good together or I messed up and couldn't fix it. The color scheme was pink yellow blue and purple this seems kind of weird but in the end I think it act...
