Screen Printing & Poster-Zines

A printmaking collection exploring contrast, material and personal visual language.

The collection includes DAAS - From Oasis to Heritage, I Am the Ghost, and printmaking process documentation.

ROLE AND AUTHORSHIP

Individual academic artwork; two separate poster-zines, a layered landscape screen print, and personal visual research.

PROJECT 4 / VISUAL LIBRARY SYNTHESIS

DAAS - From Oasis to Heritage

An eight-panel poster-zine exploring the agricultural heritage of the UAE through the daas, an agricultural cutting tool. Bold silhouettes, typography and a black, white and red graphic language connect the tool to labor, landscape and memory.

From visual experiments to a graphic language.

I developed a personal visual library through photography, halftones, found imagery, typography and hand-drawn stencils. Experimenting with these materials revealed recurring interests in contrast, structure, motion and atmosphere.

Visual collection → Experimentation and transformation → Graphic vocabulary → Project 4 poster-zine synthesis.

The cutting-tool silhouette links the library to DAAS, while samurai and sword imagery reappears in I Am the Ghost. Typographic and halftone experiments establish a broader language of contrast and atmosphere.

Eight panels. One composition.

The Project 4 brief asks each folded panel to work as an individual composition while the unfolded eight-panel sheet reads as a unified poster. The supplied digital artworks present the complete unfolded compositions.

Built one layer at a time.

Project 1 is a separate physical screen-printing study. Stencil shapes, early color layers, registration tests and later refinements build toward the completed landscape print. The animation is a digital layer sequence, shown separately from the physical process photographs.

Selection becomes a visual voice.

The visual-library reflection identifies contrast, structure, motion and atmosphere as recurring interests. Project 4 brings that vocabulary into editorial compositions; Project 1 separately documents the material behavior of layered color and printed shapes.

SCOPE & EVIDENCE

The digital artworks show both poster-zines as complete unfolded compositions.
