Description:

For this project I needed to design a two-color screen sprint based around a social issue that I felt strongly for. I decided to tackle the issue of gun violence within the United States and drafted multiple concepts and, after critique, chose my final layout. I created hand-drawn illustrations and color separations for this project.

The final version of the two-color print. Copies of this poster were hung across campus and were also sent to high schools for department promotional purposes.

An alternate print of the poster made by brayering different colored paint on the paper and printing just the black outline.

A colored copy of the original sketch showing how I wanted the color to be laid out.

The final sketch alongside the blown up transparecny copies used to burn the image onto the screens.
