About The Author: Finalised Mockups + Creating Positives for Print

Final Designs for Book

Final designs for all 12 pages of my concertina

These are the final designs for my screen prints, and hopefully the same colour (fingers crossed I can mix well). I'm really happy with the way they have turned out, however I am hoping that the screen print process will give them a bit more authenticity, texture etc, as at this stage the images do look quite clinical. I did create the images using a wacom tablet so they should have a slight hand drawn feel to them and hopefully not too vector like. I'm happy that I managed to find a way to introduce half tones using texture brushes, as opposed to bitmapping, as I feel that it doesn't look too computerized and gives my images a bit more of a natural feel. I think that like in my sting, I have managed to convey atmosphere effectively using compositions, some more dynamic than others. 

 Examples of layer separation and creating positives

These are the positives for the first side of my book. i'm glad that the texture has been maintained and should very easily be picked up on the screen. I'm really looking forward to seeing the final thing.
