All images are actual photos. Working without a realistic digital mockup was scary! I decided to print proofs of a few different color-separation approaches—a very laborious and time-intensive process but ultimately worth the effort because my first couple trials were pretty much total whiffs.
The original version of the poster was basically full-coverage ink—none of the foil would have showed through and even transparent acrylic ink blocks the reflective qualities, so I had to figure out a way to bring in the rainbow foil’s unique qualities while staying faithful to the original art.
