The process - Fairtrade Lino

First I either drew  the fairtrade object as its corresponding letter or traced the letter and  drew the object inside of it, then I shrunk it down and after traced it in reverse onto the lino. Next I cut each 'letter' out of the lino and then printed them out with black ink. After this I scanned them in onto photoshop and added colour to them, using the fill tool, quick selection tool and magic wand tool. After I finished adding colour to each letter I then put them all together where their corresponding positions would be on the final poster.

• Possibility of making the fairtrade object out of its letter instead of making the letter out of the object
• Could put the letter on the object
• Could decorate the letter with the objects
• Could have characters holding the letters and objects

New Project Stockport Fairtrade A-Z

On Tuesday  I was given a choice of two projects to do either the Blue Peter Project where I would have to come up with an idea of something new that the viewers could make or the Stockport Fairtrade Project where I would have to design an illustrated fairtrade alphabet. I chose the latter because I felt that it would be more suited to my style and am interested in printing over making.
I have begun to collect research for the project- examples of other illustrated alphabets, 3 colour risograph prints and pictures of items which are fairtrade.
