S for Silkscreen

It's time for me to search for companies for my internship! I had to find design related companies and I felt like going into companies that does either illustration, graphic design, branding, print or publication.  

Sadly my portfolio is more illustration with minimal graphic design works. I have sent out my resume and link to my online portfolio to more than 15 companies over the last week and some of them had arranged for an interview with me. I hope more them would consider and call me up soon, oh well just hope for the best.

So before I go for an interview I had to prepare an online portfolio and a physical one! 
To make it abit more unique, i decided to perfect bind my portfolio with two wooden cover! 
Took me about 3 days to get the interior to be perfect bound professionally by a store at sunshine plaza, then a whole day to hand bind the wooden cover. I had help from my awesome lecturer with the wood cutting and binding!

The cover was looking pretty plain, so i decided to silk screen my design on it! I got the emulsion and exposure done in school, then did the printing at home. 
Before I print onto my precious portfolio I did my first sampled print on a Tshirt first. In case there are holes (if you know what i mean).. 
 Found a plain black Tshirt and decided to silk screen my design with metallic silver screen printing ink.

 Spread the paint down and done! 
Then it's the portfolio turn, I made a little mistake with the measurement and the design is abit too aligned to the right :( 
But other than that it looks perfect. 





Now I'm all set and ready for the upcoming interviews :)
