The print process of the module turned out to be a lot more stressful than I imaged it to be. It seems funny now that I thought I'd have them all done the first time round and they'd all be perfect, always have been the optimist. But, after something thinking, I realised that I needed to go wrong. I think it was almost impossible for me to be successful the first time round, especially as I didn't really know what I was doing. This has made me realise that mistakes are so important in the success of your work, which sounds silly but it's true. Now I know what to look out for when I screen print next time (which I definitely will because I've realised I'm not too bad at it).
I also think I made it harder for myself in terms of my design, because it has so many different elements that need to match up that it was very hard to do so. By the time I got it to match perfectly my screen would be dry so the print would be patchy - very frustrating. But when it did come out right it was so satisfying! And I do really like my design, the complexity and chaos just sums up Adams so well!
As I have done my prints quite early, I'm thinking of returning to the print room to do A4 versions of my Hitchhiker's print. This sounds silly giving myself more work, but I'm really proud of this design and I would really like to sell them. I think A4 would be quicker for me to generate loads, just far more manageable.
