T-Shirt Color Separation Guide
« on: March 27, 2013, 06:48:23 AM »
After I tested a small class of students in teaching color separations,  I found that a particular separation exercise that would only take me an average of 30 minutes to finish was spent taking 2 and 1/2 hours of the time with the students writing notes.  At that moment I decided to write a manual so that the class time was spent more on learning than writing notes.  It has taken over a year of my spare time(which is not a lot), but I have finally finished the manuscript!  It covers the basic principals, pictures and several exercises that cover a different range of scenarios from real separations that I have made in the past. I had to do these separations over several times so that I could make the illustrations to cover the exercises visually.

I have a few edits and then I will test it out in another small class, and work out any bugs that I may have missed.  The manual will be included in the package that I have made for my classes.  Once I am satisfied,  I will reformat the text to a broader class and I will self publish it into a book and market it  this summer! http://mitchdifferent.blogspot.com/2013/03/t-shirt-color-separation-guide.html

Good idea and coming from you would be well worth the money. I have much respect for those who are "different".   Ya gotta love that name.

Yes,  I have looked into it.  I will need to get it formatted for a fee, but the marketing potential would make it well worth it!

I'll buy a couple.  I'm still kicking myself for only having one copy of Clarke's 4CP book. 

Sweet blog.
