Silkscreen travel poster: Concepts

Here are my two best concept sketches, of Mt. Rainier (left) and Mt. Shasta (right). What I pick will depend mostly on the colors I chose.


The assignment calls for three PMS colors (colors that can be mixed by paint). In silkscreen, the colors can be totally opaque or you can add a transparent element, allowing two colors to create a new color when they are layered on top of each other.

For Rainier, I am thinking of the color scheme on the left below, and for Shasta the colors on the right below. I like both of them--the blue, brown, grey is exciting and crisp, but the yellow, pink, and purple is a nice palette for sunset.
