prototype prints · Nov 29, 11:47 AM
one of the ideas i had to show this artwork correctly is to give it the same look it had back in the day, lit up. ANSI art was solely seen on CRT monitors scrolling at 80×25 column terminals. so i thought a lightbox would be a pretty close way to represent some of it.
i found a printing company local to me that will print large format in 6 color UV ink on universal back-lit film, used for rich color back-lit displays, like bus shelter ads. i had two logos printed out on them, and one canvas (just to see what it’d look like).
the smaller ones are printed on back-lit, large one on canvas. i definately did not ask for that excess border, gonna be fun cutting that off.
hard to tell but aempirei noticed i messed up on the column duplication blowing this one up for the print shop. still looks good far away, but i gotta remember to do exact multiples of the dimensions next time.
