To celebrate a good business year, Dean Brown wanted to create a small square poster to share with clients and friends. With the design in hand, and the necessary screens he got to work — but not before wanting to add a little something to the poster. By mixing a small amount of pearlescent pigment with the two inks he was using he was determined to add a little holiday shimmer to the design.
A simple idea that proved much harder to execute than he expected, as the pigments were clogging the screen over and over again. That is, until he found the exact balance between the two ingredients that obtained the desired result. To finish the production, the posters were signed with a white acrylic paint pen before making their way into the custom shipping tubes.
