Project Description
John Locke’s "An Essay Concerning Human Understanding" was first published in 1689, the ideas at the time were a radical new philosophy. A series of six silk screen printed posters have been designed, containing the first chapter of the Essay. The posters aim to draw attention to the text and serve as a reminder that a work from the seventeenth century can still be incredibly forward-thinking and inspiring.Production Lesson(s)
This project was somewhat of a learning curve, from blocked screens to running out of extending medium... it sometimes felt like everything was going wrong. But I learned to embrace challenges and imperfections, sometimes they create the most interesting results.
