Lino Printing
Screen Printing
Screen Printing was my most successful method of printing, so I decided to use design my final prints with this in mind. My prints are based on the patients that Sacks worked with, focusing the symptoms from a personal and exterior perspective of three different neurological conditions.
First tester prints: positives created by using two bitmap layers. This wasn't successful as I wanted the two inks to mix in the middle of the circle to create a gradient.
Refined positives for prints: using one screen and a split fountain with printing inks.
