As I had said in my 1st year presentation, I wanted to experiment with more traditional printing methods so I chose to print my design for Leeds Public Spaces in lino as I had already used screen print method for last years tradition print design.
As this is my second time doing a lino print, it wasn't as bad as I had thought. It is very time consuming and it is really easy to accidentally cut through the design but it did turn out to be easy as I remembered. It was more difficult to cut around the designs that has smaller elements such as a smaller typeface or design but in the end it did print fine. However, the final design of my print did not turn out as well as I wanted it to because of the lino elements that I had cut out did not turn out as planned and just did not look good.
In the future, I would still like to experiment with lino because I think that if it is designed by something that you created digitally and really have an idea, and then transfer onto lino, it can really turn out how you want rather than having to use other work to try make things fit together.
