Project Description
High 5 is a behind-the-scenes print based project featuring five exceptional creatives working to one specific brief: Design an A2 poster based on the theme High 5 in 1 colour only. Specifically chosen to offer a spectrum of styles that add to the uniqueness of the project, the High 5 artists are: Ian Anderson (founder of the Designers Republic), Paul Farrell, Stephen Kenny, Natsko Seki & Andy Smith. A documentary style film made during High 5 provides intriguing personal interviews with the artists and fascinating footage of the screen print and letter press processes involved in the production of the artworks.Production Lesson(s)
