Brief 3 - Screenprinting

For the Inpress event, we had been invited a guest designers and thought it would be great to exhibit and potentially sell some hand-printed posters using the font we designed — Matilda. We originally set on the idea of producing 2 designs each using 2 colours but to the logistics and price (4 screens per person) we decided just to produce one each.

Max's design overlays 2 of our favourite glyphs — R in particular, along with the full set of glyphs and a brief insight into who form and writing are. The overlay will highlight the subtle differences between the glyphs but in turn will provide a nice aesthetic.

My design focuses on the subtleties of the letterforms, forming an abstract representation of the font. The 'G' in particular emphasised the 'tilda' characteristic we based the font on. I intend to use blue and red ink to reference the colours used within street signs.
