Designer Chris Breckon continued his production in the screen-printing studio today. With everything going as planned, he was able to complete his challenging three colour print, of his poster which has been inspired by a quote from Liam Fray, of The Courteeners. He was able to achieve a magenta over print on black, this was done by introducing white ink into the mix, reducing the transparency of the ink.
The designs will be now cropped and prepared for sale, over the next two week.
