Significance of Numbers - Practicalities

> Wanting to screen print using chalk based binder, need to talk to print department about this.
 - When I spoke to them they said with the paper mesh it's unlikely I'd get a successful result when screen printing with chalk.
 - Asked about fabric opaque white binder as when making white screen ink out of acrylic and binder it dries quickly, wondered if there's a way around that issue. They said that the fabric binder would be just as difficult to work with as a acrylic binder mix as the mesh is too fine for fabric binder.
- Mike suggested that if the design is big and chunky to print it once, let it dry, align it and print again (how would this work with smaller text pages? Think about using digital print).

> Digital print white on black for the smaller text
- The constraint with this is the size of paper can be A3 max, this would work with the A5 sized zine. As well when researching school exercise books the traditional UK size are either A4 or A5 so it still fits in with the education undertone of the project.

> So wanting to develop poster zine with an animated element.
- is this achievable in the time frame?
- how many pages in the zine? 3 could be doable especially is using digital print.
- need to make sure I have enough of the digital printed small text side for the screen print (could always duplex if issues arise).

To Do Next:
 - find paper stock (black)
 - develop visual element further
 - if possible make animations for one of the posters not all (this could be more achievable)
