The study of process printing using the colours: cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK) has always been of interest to me. The way the colours interact and combine to create an almost endless colour palette is mind-blowing.

After much experimentation, trial and error, plus hours of ink mixing, I selected four sizes of the woodblock font - Helvetica and their corresponding point sizes. I then printed cyan, magenta and finally yellow in an off-set configuration. This technique showed how overprinting the transparent inks created new colours and textures, resulting in an alluring, multi-coloured, vibrant poster.
