Description In my design course one of the subjects is print making and we're doing various traditional printing techniques.

The first one was a lino print, which I quite like. I tried to find a design that would look good with bold block printing and settled on the Chinese hanzi character 'loong' or 'dragon'. It almost turned out backwards before I realised I needed to reverse the image so it would print properly

This one here I think looks best out of the edition of eight that I had to print. I might submit a pic of the actual lino block that I carved the image into because I reckon thats where most of the effort went!

sweet job, tho i reckon the dragon should be bigger, and the writing smaller(but then u'd probably draw way too much detail on it and not have finished in time, huh?)

Thanks man. It's got nothing to do with not enough time, the only reason I put the dragon in there in the first place was becuase the teacher said that he can't read Chinese. So it was an afterthought.
I only wanted the Chinese character but I put the dragon pic in as a sort of sign post. Someone else in my class printed the word 'lion' in Arabic and did the same thing, a small picture of a lion next to the large word. His looks cool as well.
