Making Studio

Clay has posted some great tutorials about some of the finer details of screen printing that are very helpful.  In order to give you the whole picture, I wanted to post this tutorial that goes a little in depth on how to set up a file for a multi-layer screen print.  This may seem daunting at first, but once you get working it is very intuitive.

Here is a nice primer on the process.  This isn’t an easy piece, but gives you a ton of great info.  I would like to possibly touch on this a bit in the beginning of our tutorial as a secondary option to hand painting or perhaps do a follow up.

A Beautiful Mess has this fun notepad tutorial. I love how simple it is and how the photos are clear enough that reading the text is not necessary, although it does add additional information.

Revised Instruction “How To Run A Great Marathon”

My tutorial needs better photos in general so I went to a 10k race this weekend to take  additional photos.  Since I don’t have a DSLR camera, it was still hard to get a shot that I wanted to include in this instruction.  It takes some practice taking good photos of a moving object or people. I know that a team photographer of the Dashing Whippets Racing Team (I recently joined but I haven’t raced any with the team) has some amazing photos, so I asked for a permission to use his photos.  I added inspirational quotes,additional links along with few roll over squares on photos to make the tutorial more engaging.  However, no one commented on this so It apparently still needs more work 😉

I found this “How Not To Run Your First 5k or 10k” instruction very funny.  The author used comment boxes to make this instruction more humorous and enjoyable.  Running instruction is usually writing heavy, so I will try to add more humor to my instruction.

This tutorial by Design Aglow is very clear and straight forward in its directions. I really like the alternative binding options that she provides. The photos have a wonderful depth of field, are well lit and have fun backgrounds.
