Layout and colour

Inspired by a sticker we were give I decided to see if I could do a letterpress layout using the words: "learn peace, teach peace"

The layout I was able to lock up in the chase was as follows.

I did a proof in red ink but we decided it was too aggressive and shouty - so I mixed the blue at the start of this blog - after all the colour for international peace and  peace personnel is light blue.

So I printed 20 post cards.

And then had a bit of a play with colours when I was cleaning up; over prints.

An enjoyable way to get the peace message out there in another small way.
