Myself and Alec went early door to the Printed Textiles studio in order to get some photographs in the morning light. As it turns out, the studio is an incredibly hard shape to get good shots of (as a whole) but the booths came out well.
Booths like the above look great when cropped into. The textures and materials are so much better than their scanned counterparts.
Above are some shots of the studio which came out pretty nice. The rest are on the other camera. The personality of each booth comes across here. We're blessed to be working with such an aesthetically pleasing room!
Above are shots from close up of some of the desks within the studio. The desks provide a more personal view and add a bit of humour & insight into the tools used and books read to create the final outcomes.
Next, we went to mono-print to try out some rough, sketchy typography for different sections within the book. The idea is to overlay the rough type over strict gridded stuff.
Above: a lot of effort for a pedestrian result.
A really fun process, a lot of trial and error.
After getting ~bored~ of the typography and limited colour spectrum we tried a split-fountain of neon colours. The results were fantastic, properly eye catching whilst maintaining the crafty vibe.
We tried rolling the ink over pre printed type (a likely scenario) very nice. The low opacity of the ink sits really well over text.
Typography created with rolled ink.
Trying the ink over imagery, really works over black and white, adding a pop of colour.
Whilst chatting to the staff in the print studio, they mentioned rolls of material they had onto which printed textiles accidentally print onto and becomes a wonderful melange of colour and shape. This is perfect for us, embodying the ramshackle approach better than the monoprinting.
Below are examples that we photographed.
