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.
2. Lasercutting the pattern
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
if needed, you can add crop marks and export!
