    Screen printed and hand-bound book - Half Past Now
    This is my graduation project. I have interviewed an interdisciplinary arts collective Half Past Now (HPN) about their origins, motivations, favourite moments and future plans. I then Drew all the pages (40), separated all the colours. Where pink and blue overlap, a new colour emerges. I screen printed all the pages, hand bound the book myself and in total made 15 copies. https://www.twine.net/signin graphicdesigner illustrator designer
