Amy Johnson

A renowned female pilot/engineer who broke many world records such as fastest flight times. For printmaking project one we were given a list of famous people from Nelson Mandela to Amy Winehouse, and given the task of choosing one, researching their life and creating a 2 colour print representing their character, ideals and any significant events. 

Stencil of Print

I designed this using Photoshop to print out and trace to acetate and then transfer to a silk screen using light sensitive emulsion. I have no final prints to upload as of yet but they have been produced and will be added to the post when scanned in.

Plane - Named Jason by herself, every plane that followed was also called Jason

Ring - Was proposed to mid flight by a fellow co pilot after having only first met less than 8 hours earlier

Wrench - For her remarkable engineering skills at a young age
