Brief
Gradients that look smooth on screen often turn flat and plastic in print. I wanted gradients that feel physical, like pigment sitting in paper.
Approach
Every gradient was built with heavy grain and proofed on four uncoated papers until the colour stopped looking digital. The final eight were printed as a numbered series.
Result
The grain settings became the base for two poster commissions, and the prints are now used as swatches in client meetings.
