Paste Up!

What the print will look like.

Yellow layer

In History class, we were showed how to create our very own paste up...the old school way of creating a digital print!! It was very interesting completing this project at home...It was, in a way, a very tedious process...we had to come up with 4 separate layers, each being it's own color...bottom layer was yellow, third layer was cyan, second layer was magenta and first and final layer was black...CMYK!! We then had to come up with a cover sheet indicating to the printer how much of each color was to be used. The arrows had to be touching that indicated color for the particular layer (it had to be exact).  This assignment was a great way to learn how these digital prints were made and it made me appreciate the process that was dealt with back then, so much more! I love doing these sorts of things...discovering history all over again! It was a great way to understand the History of Graphic Design a little more!
