Turn of Phrase - Screenprints















So I decided to change the cover of my book to a more subtle and clear cover. I chose to use a nice green paper stock for the cover of each book, so went out and bought/ordered samples of a good range. Hobby Craft, Fedrigoni and GFSmith are the main paper suppliers i went to; GFSmith from the previous posts i have put up. I wanted the cover to be green and have a texture so that it represented the football pitch, so decided to choose a range from 280-350gsm with various textures.
The type had to be white for obvious reasons, the lines on a football pitch are white, so i decided to use a screen printing method which has come out really nice.
Theres is an example of where the screenprint did not work print properly where the type is patchy and faded. But I like the visual look of it, as no lines on the football pitch are perfect and it just has that overall feeling that the pitch has been played on.
