"Apples" print (1970)

This 1970 Apples booklet is cleverly efficient when it comes to colour usage. While my reproduction of it is printed in full colour, the original was only two (red and green), overlapping the two colours on the tree trunk and apple silhouettes to achieve a dark brown. At bottom right the basket's lighter red comes from a halftone treatment. Suddenly, two colours became four, and the printing costs remained the same.
