Herod’s Temple

This A+ project was done for my Ricoh 5th Colour Printing assignment for my Digital Printing Technologies class. The assignment was to:

• design a poster that incorporated one of the selected 5th colour options (clear, neon pink, or invisible red) as part of the design,

• correctly set the 5th colour as a spot colour with the right name,

• accurately use overprint and knockout settings, verified using separations preview in Acrobat,

• preflight in Acrobat,

• upload to Fiery RIP through EFI Command Workstation and set up the job,

• and release it to the Ricoh C7210x to print

I drew the second temple on Procreate on my iPad using a combination of online references I found that depict what the temple looked like. I then sent the drawing to my laptop where I opened it in Illustrator to create the poster according to assignment specifications and printed it in lab.

I then came back to the file, exported the UV mask separately from the CMYK layer, and opened them in Photoshop where I used effects to create a mockup of how the clear overlay looks. Finally, using a royalty-free .pdf mockup file of the picture frame, I created a framed mockup using Photoshop.
