28/01/2021: Outcomes from photoshop session with Maisy

 Today I attended a session with Maisy where we would go over my photoshop skills. During this session I went over all of the side bar tools as well as learning how to utilise masking layers and gradient maps. I used a combination of these skills to create this image where I placed the houses I made into the collage to make a digital version of the piece. Overall I like the sense of depth I was able to achieve in a was that was quicker to traditional collage. I didn't like however the roof of the building at the hop starts to blend into the soil as they are a similar shade of brown. To rectify this, I might try dropping a different colour into the background to act as sky to make the building stand out more.

The book features a combination of digital and traditional collage - the entire image making process has been fully documented on my blog. For now I have added Lorem Ipsum to demonstrate where I have considered placing the text. I plan on writing the text for this book, along with the left over pages, post submission in preparation for the degree show.

My idea behind this piece was that I wanted to feature bees and their hive amongst an apple tree which I collaged as part of my work in the authorship unit. With it being one of my more successful collage works, I really wanted an opportunity to use it in this book Below is the final image. I really like how this page spread turned out. I like the texture and the colours and think it is visually exciting

14/05/2021: Inside barn(page 6).

Image
Below is the design for the barn spread. For this page I wanted to show all the insects that live in the damp dark conditions in a barn within a farm habitat Below is the final art work for this spread. I decided to replace the spiders with more moths as I really liked the design of the collaged moths and thought they would stand out better on the dark background as opposed to how the spiders would look.
