Printing a rainbow

Printing is fun.

No doubt about it - it has been such fun to be in and printing in the studio; the two of us working alongside each other and working out how well the space works.  It's just grand.

We have completed our rainbow of kindness and it all worked out pretty well.

My next colour was green, and I tested the first layout.


From there, I decided the first part needed to be closer together, so removed some spacing, and left the bigger breathing space between the closing part.


May I say it is hard to photograph the green?

Barry turned to blue and its nice to see how the colour differentiation is working in real life.


My final colour was Indigo and if I thought green was hard to photograph the indigo showed me how hard it is to make it not look black.

In real life it is the perfect link between blue and violet.



Barry completed the rainbow with violet, and then there were seven.


Ta da!

    1. Thanks Jac - we were hoping to get one print run in before heading to Scotland...now we aren't heading off so there will hopefully be plenty more in the pipeline.

  2. trying to get colors to show up in photography gives one an appreciation for the eye's incredible capacity to see ... I've resorted to "pushing" color in my phone's photo editor from time to time

    and what an interesting little swoosh on the letter "p" in "speak" ... are there any others like that in the font?

    1. The colours in the studio are not great and so yes - the light gets fixed a lot before I publish them! Not sure about other swooshes but shall go look! Go well.
