Mr. Hiromura invited the office staff to trace one CMYK color separation plate each of a photograph with a pencil to create printing plates. He then took all four tracings and put them through a printer to create a this final print showing that printing is made up of four plates. The four members' individual personalities and quirks created color variations and subtle discrepancies, while the rubbings and eraser marks during the drawing process gave the artwork a unique and intriguing feel.
