Print Liberation


Founded in 1999, Print Liberation is a Philadelphia based creative visual agency and the collective endeavor of three artists who share a p
assion for print, design, and culture. Working at the intersection of art, design and commerce, offering non traditional concepts and a unique vision.
Print Liberation with Luren Jenison show you how to start screen printing today using the most basic elements—a screen, some emulsion in a bucket, artwork, a light source and a sink. With your burned screen, a squeegee and some ink, you can print any image onto anything you feel like printing. While screen printing can be unpredictable, with some helpful tips and troubleshooting from the Print Liberation, you’ll soon be able to print on the bottom of a ship in a hurricane
I chose this image off their website as I thought it was a really good idea to get people experimenting with screen printing, I love the simplistic informative design of the book which suggests that its easy to have a go and you don't need a big studio with dedicated apparatus, which opens screen printing up to the someone just interested in having a go in their spare time, and people wanting to have a go seriously. I'm definitely going to get one ordered! (why not!)


While having a gander in Print Liberation's website I came across these images, I like these because you can't beat little inspirational quotes, and I definitely agree with 'life is what you make of it.' I like the way the illustration and type link together to form the overall picture with the thumbs up or down is a great touch suggesting life can be either way, but its what you make of it (life.) The way I see it is, anyone's glass can be either half full or half empty the choice ultimately is up to yourself. The other three images I find intriguing because of where they are placed, the environment I get from the pictures is there not in a wealthy area, where people probably have plenty of opportunities available to them already. The pictures have alot more power in the environment they have been taken in.
