Editions of 24hrs booklet

Due to the method of screenprinting that I was using for the posters, I had to flood and print once onto newsprint first before printing on the actual stock for every separate colour. This allows the ink to refresh itself and for the new colour to be flooded through the screen ready for the actual print, therefore I had a pile of newsprints with test prints all over them, some of these were overprinted and some that hardly worked at all.

I decided to put these together into a book as they seemed a bit oversize to keep a record of. The book basically consists of all these sheets folded twice and bound together with 2 bulldog clips. It offers a management and easy to view format of the prints, and although only a fraction of the prints are exposed, you still get an idea of the print quality and always have the freedom to unclip and open them up individually.

The spreads themselves work really well even if they don't have much meaning to them. The colour and tactile quality of the prints make up for the lack of real content. There isn't much of a concept behind this really as this is simply the result of just using up existing materials, but this format and the process of how it's been put together is quite interesting.

Due to the way it is bound, the edges of the pages are printed on aswell, forming an interesting spectrum of colours and patterns due to the halftone effect.

The ordered yet random composition of shapes, type, textures and colours on each spread has a certain appeal to me and perhaps other people who are passionate or have an interest in manual printing.
