The final resolutions to the project came out really well, the image I used to show the Mod subculture came out really interesting due to the bitmap edit I did on it, the main parts of the image, such as the four people at the centre of the image came out very clear with the screen printing picking up on the shadowed parts and coming out like a real black and white photo, not a screen print. The Gil sans type which I used came out clearly and legible and, having struggled in previous screen print attempts to create a print with small legible type, I did not find fault in it this time. The 'watermark' style shapes of the lines and mod symbol, printed rather well, although the thin lines did fade on some prints and on others the paint smudged some how, I realised I should have used a thicker stroke for the image though I wanted them to be thin and in the background, a thicker stroke would have pulled more attention to them. The block of colour behind it all was the biggest struggling I encountered with the ink running on a number of occasions, I struggled for a long time to get a solid rectangular shape, luckily the best resolutions of this block of colour came out on the stock paper I chose to use.
Overall I am pleased with the outcome of the brief with a successful screen print being the outcome yet I felt I could have gone further with the design and development, I felt the resolution could be far stronger had I gone deeper into developments. I feel I have met the brief with a different style and concept of bank note, as well as making a design which can and has been screen printed, meeting the main brief requirement.
