Screen Print, Further Development

Once it was realised that the beard didn't look like a beard I chose another photo to work with, and edited it to look more textured and real. 

Editing this beard like this works a lot better, it is definitely more clear what it's supposed to be and more interesting to look at, because of the detail.

I put this poster together using the a darker red than first planned, because pink was quite light and girly. I still want to show the manly this of this film, so by using a darker kind of red makes it look a bit more serious. I asked a few people what they thought, most people were more in favour of this beard versus the the more vectored one. 

Joe in the class suggested converting it so the matching red from the type came through the beard. I really liked this idea, but when it came to doing it, I don't think it worked that well. 

However after that I swapped it around so that it was just the lines that were red, which I really liked.

 I really liked the inverted version of the beard. I think the lightness of it related to the confusion and question, What Just Happened?

I tried it with the black type but decided I wanted the beard and type similar colours.
However, they should be different because it's a two colour screen print.

So I went back to the beard and darkened it a bit more to a more natural brown, it make the beard look real.




When it came to preparing the negatives and positives I realised that I had to have it the first way, with more dark. This was because I couldn't change the inverse again, so couldn't change it to black. This was really annoying, but because my screen print session is a week before hand in, I may try to change it and print it that way. Depending on how happy I am with the screen prints.
