OUGD401 - Studio Brief 02 - Screenprinting

To screenprint the zine, each side was digitally printed and then exposed onto individual screens. Side one was printed in black ink, in the style of a traditionally printed newspaper. Side two was printed in red ink, in part to emulate the CMYK colour separations that newspapers print in, and in part to further the contrast between the two side, with the red story leading a softer narrative and the black side leading a more formal narrative. The zine was printed on thin newsprint paper, again to reflect a traditional newspaper in both stock and double-sided print, but also to create a translucency so that both narratives are visible when the page is folded down.
