Next steps - Creating an A2 print


Now that I have finished all the prints for the library, continuing on from John's suggestion of working
on a bigger lino, I want to create an A2 print of Shelagh Delaney's 'The Lion in Love'. 

Within Authorship I did have the idea to create some film posters around A3/ A2 but I didn't end up doing it and with John suggesting it now too, I think it would be a good opportunity to work on it as we have just over a month left of Unit X. 

I want to create the print in the style of theatre posters from around the 1950's/60's and I have chosen to 
go with 'The Lion in Love' as the other prints I have created from it have been successful and I have a good body of research and context to it. Although I did want to explore Shelagh's collection of short stories 'Sweetly Sings the Donkey' I don't think they would translate well into the form of big posters. 

I will mock up the images on photoshop as they will be a lot more graphic than my other prints and will use text. I think the print of text I did for the library with the Tameside collection was successful and will print well on an even bigger scale. I will do some of the posters smaller on A4 as practice and then hopefully create around 3 A2 prints. 

I know where to get the lino from but need to do some research on where to get good quality printing paper that big.
