Introducing the Wisconsin State Parks Poster Series

After finishing the 5th Design of the 5 poster series, I explored options for printing and settled upon a giclee, or digital inkjet printing method for the first edition of these posters. Although I really wanted the aesthetic and color choices of serigraphy, the giclee method offers flexibility in edition size, while also providing the opportunity to use color-fast inks on heavy weight archival matte paper.  I am very pleased with the results and consider the color to be quite saturated-very much mimicking the effect of a serigraph.  I found that in order to make a true serigraph in a cost effective way, I would need to reduce the number of total colors and do a larger quantity. I am not ruling out the silkscreen process if these evolve to larger runs, but for right now, I can still produce a limited edition of signed, quality prints at an economical price point for the print buyer.  If you are interested in purchasing a print, please contact me at belairphilip@gmail.com. I am in the process of creating a website to allow for the direct purchase of these via paypal, but this will be a temporary process for now.  Turn-around time for a signed 16" by 24" signed print is 2 weeks maximum.  The print will be shipped in a durable mailing tube upon receipt of payment.  The cost per print is $45. The series of 5 is at a reduced rate of $200.  All graphics portrayed on these posters are the original artwork of Philip J. Belair.

Phase Five shows the final composition of the first two posters. These won't be going to press for a while, so If you have suggestions I would love to hear them!

In the fourth phase of the poster series initial design I explored conversion techniques to add a retro aesthetic to the series.

The third phase of the poster project explored the typographic components of the poster series.

The second phase of the poster project, which was all about converting compilation of photographic images to the final art.

The first Phase of the poster project, which relied on hundreds of photos as visual reference for each state park. Thanks to my wife Sue, who accompanied me on many of these photo excursions!
