The Project:
Print Restoration
Brand:
Florence Broadhurst
Role:
· Restoration of original design and repeat
· Advanced Photoshop and Illustrator
When I began with the Florence Broadhurst brand just 12 designs were in digital format. The only application of this archive was possible in beautifully hand printed fabrics and wallpaper. Digital printing was just not a possibility.
Many of the existing screens and films are over 50 years old and the wear of time. Much care is taken in restoring the high res scans to a format that can be used for application on dinnerware, textiles, furnishings, stationery, even cars.
It's detailed and time consuming work but always worth it in the end when I get to see a beautiful design come to life. So far I have restored over 200 designs.
It's rewarding to develop this skill and patience, as I bring those techniques to my other work, and to help emerging designers create repeat patterns for print.
