Digital Development for Uni.

I've finished for christmas now so here's some of what I've been working on!

Photoshop Development: 

Here I've started to play with the idea of mixing illustration with photography by digitally overlaying my drawings on top of my photographs using Photoshop using a variety of different filters and techniques to see what the effects were. 

Screen: Dark Areas are Translucent

The above was a happy accident with the second tree from the right; I really like the way the watercolour was has come through on photoshop. It's clearer that black or dark marks become transparent using the screen filter so I want to try and develop this idea further... 

 

I really like how these came out, the simpler lines are really striking and much more noticeable against the photo which I like; it's simplified the chaos of the more detailed drawings I've used previously. 

Exclusion: white goes blue, black goes white, similar to cyanotypes: 

 

Screen Development: 

Woodgrain:

Monochrome:

 

Print Edits: 

The following are some examples of using the prints I made the other day to see how they would react to being digitally manipulated. I really like how the words make give the image another subtle layer to them, which in my opinion adds an interesting  addition. I particularly like how the last images came out once I started cutting them up and manipulating them into an almost fairytale collage like style.
