Before starting this project I contacted Nintendo to discuss this project and the one thing that was mentioned for dos and don'ts was to be sure NOT to change any of the Characters colors. So I have Pantone matched the original Browns, reds, blues, etc. and applied them to Jeff's art layouts.
Artwork Begins
BLACK PRINT LAYER |

BROWN PRINT LAYER |

Once I received Jeffs art files there was alot of work to be done to prepare it for the screen printing process. |
First up is to separate all the colors to be printed, Then a "bleed" is added to each color layer to be printed which will print separately behind the Black print. |
This is then repeated for each and every color for every piece to be silk screened. |
