Above are a few images of the hotdog fold book that designed and screenprinted. The hotdog fold is great for producing a really quick book that only needs printing on one side, conversely it could easily double up as a poster if you wanted.
Here I experimented with texture by using a coloured pencil in some areas, never before have I used anything other than block colours in my screenprints; I am really pleased with the outcome. I have also really loved collaborating with other illustrators- the brief we all decided on setting for this mini-project was 'things holding a pie'.
Due to my previous knowledge in screenprinting, I found this project fairly easy however I know that some of the group that had never screenprinted before found it a little more tricky with things like alignment and layers. The hotdog fold book is great for a quick, low cost way of printing/binding however I feel that something a little more professional and better quality (hardbound/japanese etc) may prove a better choice for the book that I will make.
