Today the kids came and visited us at the print shop. We were able to show them the techniques that we have learned in class. I was working on the Press With Haley, and were were with two students at a time. We taught them how to load the ink on the press, how to set up the plate, and how to pull properly. It was very enjoyable displaying and teaching what we have recently learned to a new generation of future artists. Many of the prints that we did were not perfect, and I became skeptical of the future of printing the backs of my decks of cards. The experience with the kids was overall fantastic, and I really enjoyed encouraging the kids and working with them. I got to know each of the students more on a personal level, and was great to have them feel comfortable around me and the shop.

This week my team was very successful. I was able to recive lots of input from sadie, on the direction that she was hoping to go with her image. We decided to make her coasters with a image that she had created. Last week i took her image and put it into illustrator and edited it. This week i was able to bring back what i had created, and get her input on what changes she was looking for me to make to it. I have since then completed what she wants, and hopefully I have the final idea for her. For the side of tanner, We decided to scrap his old idea of printing on the shirt, and instead we are going to make a deck of 52 cards that we are going to design. This week we designed the logo, and i was able to make them into cards on photoshop. I got the back design that Will had made for his group, and i am hoping we can print the backs of the cards as the interactive experience for him, as well as printing the coasters for sadie.
