Design Festival

In Original Art, Shows and events on June 29, 2009 at 10:23 am

This September I’m taking part at the Design Festival – I’m extremely excited about it. 

I’ll be showing with some fabulous people (Images Surgery’s Joseph Warren and Squint/Opera) at the Medcalf Bar in Exmoth Market from 19th -27th September. 

Here’s what I’m doing…

“As a celebration of the fundamentals of print design artist Ella Johnston has stripped her colour drawings down to the essential colour elements of print production – CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black).

“Using the basic principles of the four-colour print process Ella has separated her drawings into CMYK templates (that when printed altogether would look like the original drawing). These ‘separations’ will be screen-printed individually using these process colours, then made into a 3D cube. The cube will be placed on an angle in a goldfish bowl, so each separation can be seen. There would be an accompanying leaflet explaining this basic print process.”

Now here’s a taster of the ‘broken down’ image…
