Printing Processes

        Pressure + Ink: Relief Process- This is an older form of printing. The printer carves out whatever they want to print and then they transfer it to the paper. The printer starts by carving an image on a block of wood or metal. They then wet it and put ink onto it. They place a piece of paper or whatever they want to print it onto and they apply pressure onto the paper. Then they let it dry and brag to their friend how cool they are.

Step 1: Carve the image you want to print onto your wood or metal block
Step 2: Wet the block with a mixture of ink and water
Step 3: Put ink on the block
Step 4: Place the paper you want the image printing onto on the block
Step 5: Apply pressure evenly across the paper
Step 6: Slowly take the paper off of the block
Step 7: Let the ink dry
Step 8: Enjoy

Intaglio Process- In this process you are scratching the metal itself to get your desired image in from the press. By scratching the metal you are moving it to make grooves in it for the ink the sit in. You can also add a layer on top of it to see exactly where you are scratching to make sure your making what you want.

Step 1: Scratch your image into the metal
Step 2 (Optional) Cover your metal in soot to better see your carving
Step 3: Wash off the soot
Step 4: Coat your image in ink
Step 5: Put paper on it and put it in through a printing press.

Lithography: This type of printing creates unique images using oil and water. You draw an image in oil to create a print with water.

Step 1: Prepare the stone for the process by gritting it
Step 2:  Draw on the surface you want to print into with the oil
Step 3: Throughly wash the stone and make sure no excess oil or water is left on the surface
Step 4: Enjoy your printed image!

We got plans too a house and recreated it Sketch Up.  It had too be over 500 Square Ft. and it took us over 3 weeks. Once we saved the plans we started building it. I started by measuring out the dimensions and making the base for my house. I then pulled the roof out of the block. I started making all the accessories to the the house like the windows and the porch and the doors. I added all the textures and the roofing and then my house was done.         On Career Cruising Animator and Graphic Design and Videographer were all part of my 10 career choices. These are all things that I would like to choose as a career. I ...

If we did this different I would want our group to work together more and make the decisions together. Thank you for reading. Good bye. Our final creation

E-Comm Final

 E-Communication has been a fun 4 years, and it is sad to see it end. Takeaways from E-Comm Senior Year Technical Skills - One of the biggest areas of improvements I have had throughout this year of E-Comm is with my editing skills. I've taken on the duties of Editor for many of my projects this year, and I was able to hone my skills and get to a place where I am proud to show off my editing. Communication - Communication was a struggle amongst all students this year with how often we had to switch the schooling style, from all online, to hybrid, to all in person. This made it difficult for us and lead to us having to communicate in different ways, whether it be through E-Mail, text, etc; However I feel like this struggle greatly improved my ability to communicate with other people. Collaboration - Collaboration is another part of E-Comm that was made hard this year due to the pandemic. However me and my groups were able to work together through different ways and work together on ...
