Colour separation is a really effective and popular way of working, particularly in the fields of illustration, graphic design, printmaking and textiles. Being able to easily change, overlap and move or resize coloured sections of a design, whether you plan to finish your work digitally, or take it into a physical print process can transform your design process.
In this class, you will learn how to make a geometric design using simple drawing techniques. You will then scan it (or photograph if you don’t have a scanner) and use Photoshop to create a 4 colour separation. You will learn how to change each layer’s colours, size and position to create alternative versions of your design. Along the way, you will learn tips in using Photoshop, and the benefits of using a colour separation.
