Final Prints

My target was to get all my prints sorted before we break up for Christmas, and having done that last Monday made me feel really on top of things! When I showed them to Eleanor the next day I was really glad that she thought my prints work really well as a set and I'm glad that she noticed and liked the order that I've put them in - because I really did put some thought into it, so that the direction/flow of each print meet in the middle with the Other Mother piece.
I asked what she thought about some of the prints in regard to the print quality - she suggested that (if i were to sell them) I may want to reprint some of them because of some patchiness here and there, which I agreed as it made it less presentable. I also forgot about blocking some of the registration marks for the prints above - after talking to Matt about this, he told me that there is a way to create registrations marks just off the frame of the artwork so it won't affect it - but I had already exposed my screen and I didn't really want to spend a lot more money on it, but this is definitely something that I will consider next time I screen print. I was able to reprint these on Friday.
I am overall happy with my prints and I feel like I have achieved what I proposed which was to illustrate my 5 chosen quotes from the book and communicate a sense of mystery and the book's darker themes/atmosphere. I feel like I have achieved that with the dramatic lighting and colour scheme.
