Process and Production - Stencil prints 2 colour image and type

For this weeks process and production with nick, the task was to create out own stencils for a sentence and a word that we picked out of a hat. The sentence that I ended up with was "Drown me in your sweet submission" and the word for the image was "Grenade". I was happy with the combination I selected as it did not look strange together as submission and the grenade complimented each other. Some people got things that did not go together at all.

I created the templates for the typography and the grenade. The typography was based on a stencil font I found online called Gunplay which I thought was appropriate. I then created two posters with a roller and paint.

This was the first poster I created in portrait, using the blue and red paints that were available. I think that the poster turned out well, and like the fact that one of the grenades is hanging off the page, leaving enough room for enough negative space, so the poster doesn't look to crowded.  

I decided to create the second poster in landscape, and incorporated three colours instead of two. I think that the yellow works well with the blue and red, and the landscape orientation allowed more room for the type to fit on the page comfortably. 

It was enjoyable to create my own templates as this allows you the freedom to create the poster in the style that you like. I wanted to go for the tradition stencil font style as I knew this would work well theoretically, however, the main reason was to stick to an army like theme to go with the grenade.
