Under KUNSTruction is a self-published book by (at the time) a 3rd year illustration student Dasha Starostin.
The entire process of publishing was done under the roof of WdKA. Even the paper was bought in at the WdKA Shop
I will try to walk ou through the process, inserting as many useful links as possible.
In the process, I used programs such as Procreate, Abobe Photoshop, and Adobe Illustrator.
In the Publication station, I used:
- Screen Printing
- Laser cutter
- Risograph
- laser printer
Besides that:
- folding machine
- cutting machine
- staple binding machine
Cover
1. Screenprinting the letters.
For my cover, I chose light blue textured paper and wanted to print bright orange letters on it.
First, I tested the orange acrilic mixed with the screen-printing medium for paper. The result was dark, dull and brown. The reason for that is the transparency of the screen-printing medium for paper.
To resolve this issue, I printed with an opaque medium for textiles, mixed with white ink and orange ink.
Another part of my cover design was the lasercut pattern that imitates construction sites' covers.
I drew the pattern in Procreate
and exported it in Illustrator
my initial design was to complex and contained too many small details. It would take 4 colors to cut
after scaling it up and cleaning the design, I was able to reduce the time to 1 hour.
choose preset PDF/X1a:2001
choose the relevant or all pages
export as pages, not spreads, for single pages and booklets
