Intaglio and Re-Colouring a Dark Horse

Project: The Running Horses (RHP).

Format: Picture Book.  

Type: Experimental. 

State: Colour Corrections.

Work Progress:

Had a meeting with my printer to sort out the colour problems of the layout. I've settled on a four colour (CMYK) reference to adapt the layout to, called Pantone 669CP. Now that my replacement laptop battery has arrived, I'll reconfigure one illustration as a control to send to the publisher. 

Original values of my layout:

C: 85

Y: 82

M: 65

K: 82

New values of my layout:

C: 87

Y: 97

M: 8

K: 49

I'll just need to experiment with the most economical way to adjust the colour on all of the illustrations. Above is a sample of how different the two colour configurations are. The left half is the old CMYK value and the right is the new CMYK value. 

Other Work Progress:

University stuff, but more on that tomorrow. 

Other General:

Sleep. Had a week of birthday benders so it's so exciting to sleep through lunch.
