IMAGES HAVE BEEN PROVIDED BY THE DESIGNER: www.bouwevandermolen.com/
When producing a large amount of pieces it is hard to make each piece different from the one before, at least without resorting to digital printing that allows you to customize text and other details piece by piece. By silk-screening with a split fountain on the cover, each color blend is unique to each print, a technique that is replicated by forcefully “color-smearing” the interior pages. On their project description, where you can also see some additional images, the designers explain:
This issue has been submitted to an accident-prone production process. The first 32 pages have been exposed to multiple print errors and each cover has been screen printed in a special color combination. By giving serendipity a chance, each magazine is unique.
Surely a labor of love favored by a passion for hovering over the press which is reflected on each magazine.
