Specimen, Fanette Mellier
Context: Pôle graphisme de Chaumont, 2009
Printed by: Imprimerie du Petit-Cloître
Description: 120 × 176 cm
This poster, announcing a series of “graphic design and publishing” themed shows, isn’t a conventional image. It’s more of a printed object linked to its subject. The front, fully saturated with color and technical elements related to printing (scale 1), is offset printed with a very thin raster. This space saturation, like an obsessive canvas, presents graphical tools that are a common vocabulary for books makers. The title and info are printed on the back. The fold lets the title appear: the poster becomes informative and evokes at the same time the delicate materiality of a page.

CMY chonk d20
Back to my usual bright and saturated colours with this CMY d20. For those unfamiliar - CMY stands for cyan, magenta and yellow which are the only colours I used in making this die. The overlapping colours then make a full rainbow spectrum.
Trying out something new with the numbers - I'd ideally use black to make CMYK dice but its a little unreadable, so this one has white numbers except for the 20!

I bought a book from the supermarket and all it had inside was loose, old filled-out exams and cmyk printer ink tests.
