Thanks to the first semester I have developed a healthy appetite for printmaking. Now, print i must admit was certainly not top of my list of modules when I first began here and some may even have heard me call it 'Boring' or 'a waste of time' but trust me, i'm wrong. Infact print is a path I am seriously considering especially if the next two weeks continue to be as enjoyable as the first couple of days.
So what have I actually done?
Well starting off, this project focuses on our urban environment. From this I have chosen to look at the idea of signage which literally floods our urban areas.
So, starting off I chose a sign posted on a fence along from the college. I chose this because I like the contrasts and gritty elements of the photo I took especially when its in black and white.
Next was the decision to use dry point as the medium for which to replicate (to a certain extent) this image.
Dry point involves scratching into acetate to leave a line image. Of course there are many ways to play around and add effects to this.

Here's to another one and a half weeks...
