Screen Print

To finish the Portfolio Boxes, I needed to get a title on the box. The most common solution when having a hardback cloth cover is using metal foil and printing with metal cliché under heat. Since I didn´t have access to the necessary equipment, I decided to screen-print the title on the box. I have never worked with screen printing before, and with that in mind, I think the result is satisfactory, thou a few of the samples are not up to scratch.

Clamshell Box

For the last few months, I have been working on a portfolio box for a collection of images from the Barriers book. After extensive testing and working out details, I have now finished making approximately ten boxes. The boxes are in a clamshell design and follow the instructions of Darryn Schneider. The cover material is the same green Brillianta Calandre cloth used on the Barriers book. Other materials used are PVA glue and 2mm greyboard.
