We had a royal visit to college and got to spend the day in the print workshop. I really should visit the print workshop more often because I do always create useful things. We were experimenting with letterpress, and I focused on the animal names of the story as they are so inventive and a key part to the tale, I also like the idea of the text being part of the image, rather than just stuck on top in a boring font. I also think the language used in the story is key to its charm and it should be emphasised.
After the print workshop I decided to dig out a couple of rubber stamp alphabets I have and elaborate on the animal's names, I like that the different use of colour, positioning of the stamps in relation to each other can reflect the character. Like the mouse, is simple and dainty, where has Snout Rout Boar is boystrous and pretty dark. I really hope to include these bits and pieces in my final images, letterpress or rubber stamp, or even hand drawn/painted. Maybe I should look at that next!
