Overprint Poster

The overprint technique is one that can lead to the creation of interesting effects and visual interest within a design. It was once only used by pre-press technicians to ensure a design would be correctly reproduced at the printing stage, but these days graphic designers use overprints in a creative way.

Students were tasked with developing a poster in Illustrator and/or Photoshop that utilizes overprinting techniques in the color relationships between layers that achieves harmony, meaning, narrative, or emotion.
