Invisible ink
Invisible ink was my response to the ISTD 2020 brief: Paradiso, asking us to tell the story of The Divine Comedy to a new audience. I created a publication that told the story visually from start to finish, with the publication starting off dark and gloomy and then evolving into a brighter colour scheme to represent Dantes emergence from the dark Inferno to the warm light of Paradiso. I chose to focus on the theme of spiritual blindness, which was a repetitive metaphor throughout the poems.
I was delighted to be awarded membership to the ISTD as a result of my submission.
I experimented with a large variety of paper stocks and printing methods.
This project allowed me to build up my experience working with professional printers, specifically looking at paper stock, and colour printing theory and the intricacies of printing large publications, as well as being able to personally try different binding methods.
