What is the latest updates with my Chairman Mao image?
This afternoon I have been working on the definement of my layers ready for printing. I wanted to make the effort in making sure that the layers of my Chaiman Mao image are well aligned with each other. When it comes to printing them out onto Acetate, it is very crucial to me that none of the layers will overlap each other but only if it is intended to.
How am I going to make sure these layers are well aligned?
Well… Using photoshop is the most easiest but perhaps the bestest way for cutting out layers and arranging them ready for printing for screen printing. It was not easy but I have managed to cut each of the layers out of an original Chaiman Mao image successfully. Now… I just want to make total sure that all of these different layers are well aligned and not overlapping each other but only if some are intended to overlap.
Were there any problems that I faced with these layers?
I would say that there were some tricky parts but the most problem that I had was working out if I should print the main colour of his face first or do his main chest and hat colour first. The problem I have is making sure the face is in perfect alignment with the rest of the body and then once I have printed the last layer it should bind all the other layers together which will be the black outlines of his whole face and body.
My video will explain further detail with what I was trying to do this afternoon, enjoy!
