In Process Print Making Reflection

The etching worked best on the face that I drew because it allowed me to shape the face and draw the features how I wanted.  The different lines that I made in my etch of the face really embody the image and they allow the image to express different shapes, sizes, and qualities of lines, making the image more intriguing.  The pronto-plate works best for the letters that I am using to spell out the word "fame" because they allow me to use logos of different companies and make sure the logos are perfect, capturing the idea of glamour and fame, showing how both of those worlds are perceived as perfect.  The "F" of the word fame turned out a little faded at certain parts, so I don't know if I want to leave it as that or try to fill it in somehow if possible.  I still am deciding which colors I want the letters to be on top of the face.  I made the F black because that's the color of the original logo, and I'm deciding if I want to change the colors of the other letters, alternate them, or keep them all uniform.  I used a wide array of layers because I started with relief printing the face's lines, then I used watercolor and inks to make the blue eyeshadow and the red lipstick, and finally I'm using the pronto plate on top.  All I need to do is finish printing the AME of "fame" and decide which colors I want to use, and then I think I will be done.  I like how the overall composition is turning out because I like the different layers and I like how the eyes and lips pop underneath.
