Normally, copper or zinc plates are used as a surface, and the incisions are created by etching, engraving, drypoint, aquatint or mezzotint. Collographs may also be printed as intaglio plates. To print an intaglio plate the surface is covered in thick ink and then rubbed with tarlatan cloth to remove most of the excess. The final smooth wipe is usually done by hand, sometimes with the aid of newspaper, leaving ink only in the incisions. A damp piece of paper is placed on top and the plate and paper are run through a printing press that, through pressure, transfers the ink from the recesses of the plate to the paper
Here is a piece I did from a photograph I took in New Orleans. It was a house that was basically flooded and got contaminated with oil.
So I finished the website for my Viscomm class in about 15 hours in two days. From Saturday night at 11 PM until Sunday night at 8:30 PM I worked on this website, minus a few hours of sleep and an hour for church. I posted the website at http://www.stephenemlund.com/jazz/
One of my next projects for Viscomm is to present research on a web designer or design groups… These are what I’m currently looking at to research:
I’m trying to find one that has similar design ideas that I do or has produced work that I hope to someday, or that I see myself wanting to create.
Spring Break:
I’ll be home working at Sargent Construction.. doing their website. I will also be trying to finish up www.gisellegrayson.com and maybe working on stephenemlund.com
