'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.

2D Design: 7/10 Things

We were set a challenge to find 10 things and document them, I only managed 7, including some flowers/plants from the garden, my dinner, and an open draw! I tried to work with lots of different media when documenting. However, I wish I'd done more drawing as I think I largely focused on collage and collecting items. 

I chose to focus on the open draw because I thought the shapes/folds and mix of colours and materials were very interesting. Also, the idea that was you see is an aftermath of a moment, getting ready or a morning rush.

The texture of my bathroom wall reminded me of crashing waves and the sea, I did some rubbings in my sketchbook, trying out different colours and strengths. The page on the right is a collection of flowers and plants from the garden and stray bits of material.

My dinner.
