Trainspotting



We were given the opening sentence from the movie Trainspotting, along with our specific typeface. We had to rework the text into a way we felt appropriate, completely hand drawn. It was quite time consuming but gave more time to think about what you were doing, slowing the whole process.

When finished this I had it blown up to A1 at Staples and took it to screen print. The results where as followed, It came out quite weathered looking because I only lined in the text in pencil but I think that worked quite well with the tone of the movie. One of my favorite prints were when I was cleaning the screen off the ink bled through onto the paper used to protect the printing bed. The effect was of something that had been somewhere wet and dirty, this also works brilliantly with the nature of the film being Heroin.
