Studio Breif 4 - Communicate - "Neon" Paint

I popped into the stationary shop in the Merrion Center on the off chance that they had some glow in the dark or luminous paint. They didn't. What they did have was a 4 pack of neon paints for sale at 10p. I thought I may as well buy them and use the green to try and paint over the green area on a re-print of my poster. Unfortunately, when I got home I discovered that all the paint inside had dried up to the point where it was completely solid. After mixing some hot water into it, I eventually made the paint usable, although unfortunately it was somewhat watered down.

My 10p "neon" paints.

In good light you can see that the paint looks very bright. 

With no light it shines very slightly, what else would I expect for 10p though.

In a dark room with a bit of light, the sort of lighting that is present in most fish shops, this is the result. The effect is exactly what I wanted, even if the paint and/or my painting wasn't amazing. The green shines fairly brightly and you notice the black enough to intrigue you. This intrigue would make it more likely for you to pick up the handout/flyer/leaflet I produced.

In summary, I'm pleased with the effect my poster creates, and it is pretty much how I envisaged it would be in terms of the effect. I'm not so pleased with the paint, but like I said, I can't really complain for using half a pot of paint that cost 10p. I think this poster, if screen printed properly using the correct ink, along with my flyer, provide a suitable and successful outcome to problem presented in my brief.
