I quickly picked the topic of Sherlock Holmes because of some audio books by sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It was also a topic I felt would have sufficient material to last for many weeks. When I ran the idea by Jonny he suggested that perhaps I could use the idea of a fictional museum celebration the 150th anniversary of Sherlock Holmes. I knew from the start that I wanted to use screenprints as my main medium. This was because I created a poster for the Christmas shop last year and found that I enjoyed it immensely, that and I figured that I would not be able to practice screen printing once this year ends.
When doing this project I realized that I enjoy screen printing, and that due to the fact I probably wont be able to do that after university, I would like to use that as my medium for my Final Major Project. I also learned the importance of leaving things to the last minute, which is largely why my final pieces look a bit underdeveloped. The main comment of the tutors was that a third layer would really have made it a lot more powerful. I am a bit apprehensive about doing screenprints, because in order to do so (at least for A1 size) because drawing on drafting film requires me to go over the lines a minimum of twice, three times for the thin lines. Which translates to a lot more work just in order to get the screen to work. Though it was a tiring project I did enjoy the creation of the project and the moment of gratification when the prints were all done and lined up next to each other.
