Llamapalooza 2011 Poster

Final Print on bulletin board. 12"x18" on brown chipboard. Three color print made on a Vandercook 219 AB press for Colorado College's Llamapalooza festival. Edition of 200.

Left: The design concept is born with pencil and paper, later transferred to rubylith cuts and made into multiple polymer plates for color separations. InDesign was used for type formatting and a polymer plate was made for type on the bottom half. LlamaPalooza, date, and time are self-designed fonts. Right: One of the first proofs on my second to last run: silver! Note: final edition does not include year and date in silver, this was a test run.
 Printing the first run of orange.
Happiness! The almost-final product before one more trim on the guillotine.

Stacking: gotta keep things tidy so I don't loose count of my proof to edition ratio. Twenty five in each stack.

 Ready to be printed: type for colophon (on back of poster). Printed in silver. 

 The poster hung in the Worner Student Center at CC on a community bulletin board amongst others.
