10/02/2021: Photoshop session with Maisy 2.

 Today I attended another photoshop session with Maisy where we went over any loose ends from last weeks session. during the session, she taught me how to change colours in photoshop which I did to alter the colour of this collage to make it look like the sky was in the background. I did a couple of versions, one with a cool toned blue and one with a warm toned blue. I personally thing that the above image looks better as it is softer and leans into the gentle pallet created into the rest of the collage. I also decided to keep the texture that was created on the paper of this section even though it was previously soil. I chose to do this because I felt that it gave a nice effect of clouds in the sky.

The book features a combination of digital and traditional collage - the entire image making process has been fully documented on my blog.

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.
