Showcasing Scotland, SXSW 2010 prints

8/3/10

This year, we’ve produced two separate screen-prints for the Scottish Arts Council’s Showcasing Scotland gigs at SXSW. The Arts Council funds and supports some of the best Scottish acts to travel across to the States and play at two showcase gigs at the prestigious music festival in Austin, TEXAS – with one during the day and the other an evening gig.

Design-wise we went for a cross-Atlantic travel/Scottish theme with colourways to reflect the day and night time gigs. Each print has a colour blend for the run with the sky and band-names, and we experimented with double hit colours for both the violet and the black areas. And printing duties on the Latitude print were ably assisted by Stuart Thomas from the Scottish Arts Council.
