This comprehensive and rigorous studio class will design and produce a set of hand made screen printed posters, blending image and typography to communicate ideas, events or political causes. This studio will be a crash-course in illustrated poster design as well as a complete introduction to the screen printing process. Students will develop Photoshop, Illustrator and screen printing skills, including both hand created film separations of colors as well as digital film output through the Digital Fine Arts Studio. The focus of this class will be hands-on experience and studio time, rather than a History of the Printed Poster. Additional outside studio time will be required to complete the assigned poster projects.
