Busy day!

Today we were finally able to screenprint our final designs for the jigsaws. We exposed the screens first thing in the morning but then loads of printed textiles people came in and we couldn't actually get the use of a printing bed. So in the meanwhile we walked down to town to try and get some more research from the O2 shop and see if we could get a sim card to place into the jigsaws. They wouldn't let us take any pictures because of some crap to do with copyright and wouldn't give us any sim cards. But they did give us lots of literature and some bags:

We also got the March issue of the magazine.
After lunch we went back to screenprint and luckily all the beds were free! So we printed our designs onto lots of different paper and card but decided that we liked the blue mount board best.



We then went to see Fred about getting our things laser cut and he referred us to Duncan in Printed Textiles. We showed him what we wanted done and he said it might be possible but we should check the laser cutter in Blenheim Court first. No one was there so we couldn't use it. Then we went back to Fred and asked him to email Duncan about laser cutting.

And finally tonight I finished off the leaflet and envelope designs ready for digital print on Wednesday and the mock-up boards for our crit tomorrow. Hardcore.
