The purpose of this assignment was to understand life in design before computers. It was much more challenging than I had expected. There is a lot of thought and precision involved. It is organized by the way it will be printed.
The first image is the completed project and the example we were given to go by. The top layer is Black, which is the final plate to be used in the printing process. On that layer is the last "L" and the circled text.
The second is Magenta -- The "R" and the man tilted at about (if you were looking at a clock) 2:00.
The third is Cyan -- The "O"and the man titled at about 10:00.
The bottom sheet is Yellow -- The first "L" and the man tilted at about 7:00.
The bottom later, Yellow, would be printed first, and it would go in order all the way to the top layer, Black.
And there you have it, CMYK.
The last thing that was done to complete the assignment was to have a cover sheet that shows the printer what percentage of each color will be used.
And that is how graphic design kicks it old school.
