Screen printing is a fantastic medium, which often gets over looked nowadays with so much of the creative community often defaulting to digital processes. For smaller scale projects, however, screen printing can provide that authentic hand-crafted and truly tactile character that gives a lot of personality to projects that utilize the medium effectively.
Here are some inspiring screen printed posters done by a couple of contemporary print studios.
With the start of the new year, I thought I might showcase some of the more brilliant work my peers have been doing in the Communication Design and Technology department at Parsons School of Design over the past few months. These guys never stop inspiring me, and it’s an honor to be working with them.
Andrew Mahon
Interaction designer Andrew Mahon recently did an algorithmic music visualization for a song by the Apex Twin. He built this with the C++ library Open Frameworks and Open GL, mostly as an exploration in algorithmic animation, but the results are very engaging. This piece is the culmination of a whole series of algorithmic animations that he has been experimenting with, which can all be seen on his Vimeo page. You can also follow Andrew on his Tumblr blog for a constant stream of musings, ideas, and inspiring imagery and videos.
