Conch in Spot Color

One shell, full volume.

A single large conch shell in pink and cream with a vivid orange aperture, on a teal ground with a black shadow. Bold flat screen-print look.

The Story

One shell can carry a whole beach trip: the morning after a storm, the wrack line below the pier gives up a single queen conch - pink and orange, heavy in the hand - and nothing else on the sand competes with it. No waves, no sunset, no supporting cast. The conch has been the loudest quiet object on this coast for a long time.

The Making

  • Conch isolated and flattened in Photoshop with a screen-print spot-color treatment - pink, cream, orange, teal, black, no blends.
  • Shadow dropped as a single hard shape at full opacity.
  • Print-prepped at 2400 × 3000 px, 300 dpi, sRGB.
