Elements of Fashion
Remember when I said I was on the hunt for fashion show flyers +I was designing a layout for BSU.. Well this ended up to what I submitted. I hardly had any direction or specification on what should be included. The theme for the night is elements – Elements of Fashion – water, earth, wind +fire. I wasn’t satisfied with the top typography but I was pressed for time, and other things were happening at the same time.

For those unfamiliar with woodblocks, let me briefly explain. First off, it’s a real painstaking process in my opinion. It requires unconditional attention and precision. Woodblock printing is a long and tedious which starts from concept, to paper, to woodblock. It’s the technique for printing text, images, or patterns on wood. It’s a process somewhat similar to “inking a handheld rubber stamp which is then pressed against a blank sheet of paper,” only in this case it involves a complete set of illustrations carved on cherry woodblocks, a separate one required for EACH color used. The inking and actual printing process produces wonderful gradations.
The content of woodblock prints are usually of Fujiwara/Mt. Fuji [wara, Japanese for Mount], the mystifying geisha women of the pleasure quarters, life in Kyoto and/or Edo and chonin, and samurai.
