Deciding which prints work best together.
Though I had decided on which individual prints I liked the best/were the crispest and to a professional finish, I hadn't considered what they would look like as a set.
i think all these prints work well as a set as they all have a similar quality of colourbold. They’re line qualities are also very bold which also make them link together. Some of these prints are not my favorite however work better with the rest of the prints. i.e the boat print has a little to much excess ink left on which I feel make the print looks a little grubby, however the rest of the boat prints are too light and therefore look off next to the other bold prints
Using a slightly lighter print than the last set. Though I think the peanut area is a lot better in colour quality, and is a clearer quality print, overall the print has a hazy effect and does not have a spesific bold part and therefore does not match the rest of the prints.
My favorite prints from this set is the boat print, I think the line quality is very precise and fine. However the colour was too dull to sit with my other set of prints.
Taking my other favorite prints that I could not use as part of the other set and creating another set which has a more subtler light effect as a whole.
Because I like the subtler boat print I have used this in this set, to make the set look better as a whole I have also replaced the mushroom print which is also a subtle print in colour and line, therefore this will hopfully mix the two types of prints (bold and subtle) together.
At first this mushroom print was not one of my favorite because I felt the colours lacked contrast and vibrance, however when put toghert with the other print, this doesn't’t matter and it complements the rest of the prints with opposite colours and matches with the prints with similar colours (dodo print).
I asked my peers and Eleanor which prints they preferred as a set – bold prints of the mixture of both. Hannah preferred the bold prints as she felt they are the most striking. Where as becca and Eleanor preferred the mixed prints. Becca felt the mixed prints meant that I would be able to show the majority of my best/favorite prints with this set, instead of using ones I was not 100% happy with just to retain a similar print effect.
I think I will go for the mixed set of prints, as I feel the best thing to do would be to choose work which I think is to the highest standard. I do not want prints that I am not happy with bringing the quality of my other work down.
