OUGD603 - Print Fest Jessy Lanza - Finals & Evaluation




I’m really happy with how the final result came out. I was worried from the positives that it might be a bit boring but I think the experimental method of printing really helped to make the design more vibrant. I think that this style of experimental printing also lends itself well as a visual interpretation for Jessy Lanza’s music. Her music is a bit edgy and different, just like how my print turned out.

I think my interpretation of the song is unique as well, taking the vibrancy of city life and contrasting it against the calm of nature. Overall, I think that this print was really successful and I learnt a lot from experimenting with the inks like this. I think that it works much better than flat colours.


Strengths & What I liked

I really enjoyed the traditional print process of this brief, I spent a whole day in the print room just experimenting with the colours and marbling with the inks. This has shown in my final print, I think that it really stands out because of the print processes.


Weaknesses & What I didn’t like

I could have spent more time refining my ideas so that my final design would be more polished. However I think that it still turned out well. There was not a part of this brief that I didn’t like doing.


Time Management

I managed my time really well considering I had a lot of other briefs deadlines on the same week as this. Though my rush to finish the print meant that I printed it on cartridge paper rather than the GF Smith stock due to it not turning up on time.


Final Outcome

I’m really happy with how the final result came out considering my limited time scale for it. Visiting the exhibition and seeing it with the other prints was really inspiring.
