'Record' Project: Working With Text In Photoshop Again...

Another extension of previous work, looking at combining the text with the images.

I think the text really works with the image here, however because I put the print in negative to get the colours I wanted, I think it lost some of the quality, but I didn't want to block in the characters because then I'd lose the texture! So I was a little stuck.

I really love this image. I like that the colours are slightly visible and it's not just black and white. I replaced what was the speech arrows with the text and used the same green to emphasize certain words. I'm really happy with this image, moving towards creating final imagery I think this is more like what I'm looking to put together.

'Record' Project: Monoprinting

I spent the day working on monoprints, after collecting some words from magazines, I settled for the word 'Going'. I thought it was interesting and open to interpret in different ways. I started creating some images in my sketchbook for possible printing.

I really enjoyed these images, I was working with the lines thinking about paths, or direction. I had some going off the page, to make it seem continuous, quite like the word, it's kind of constant.

Using the word itself, I really liked this idea but I thought it would be quite time consuming. The second image of the legs, I was thinking about journeys again. I eventually settled for this one because the image was so simple but really embodied the word. 

My final print, I'm really happy with how this came out. We were sharing ink prints round the room, and someone else's print came off on mine in the orange, but I quite like how it looks, adds something different I guess! I wish I had the chance to do a few more, but it was fun and a good way to get started on ideas with my project.
