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!

                                                               My Google Sketch Up House              In Ecomm we created houses in Google Sketch Up. 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 ...

We spend the first day planning what we were going to create and made  a rough draft. My Group planning what to make The second day we started our final creation. Even though some people in our group put more of what they wanted in the chalk picture some parts of it represented all of us. The colors in our project didn't mean anything we just wanted it to be colorful. Each of the symbols represent things about our selfs. 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

How to Print a Document

Image
               In Ecomm we transitioned to video because it is second quarter. Our first project was to create a video using all the different shots we learned showing how to print a document. The first day we planned out what we were going to do on a story board. Unfortunately Braedon was gone the first two days so Thalia and I had to create the story board so we choose Braedon as our model, with his approval. Thalia and I both switched off setting up the camera and choosing which shots we needed. We used our technical skills you get the project done quickly and efficiently. If I had to do the project over again I would do easier shots so we could get it done in one day and not have to redo because we weren't wearing the same clothes. I would to the editing the same because it looked good. In my next project I would make sure we can still get good shots but do it within the amount of time we had. This was a fun project and ...
