- I have been continuing to use photoshop to develop my final screenprint positives using textures from my mono and lino prints.
- I have found using photoshop in this manner to be a really valuable exercise, as by having each component as a different layer it has allowed me to easily refine each composition to my liking.
- Breaking up the background behind into simple textured shapes have made for much more dynamic and effectively balanced compositions.
- I think this is because it means the colour does not dominate the composition, achieving a balance and interaction between the components and this 'hoovering' background.
- Adding texture into these blocks of shapes also seems effective in drawing the image together into a cohesive composition. I think the contrast between this digital colour and the textured nature of the printed components and bitmapped photographs was too stark.
- I like how I am developing a clearly defined concept to lead the visually content of each image, and I think they look most effective with a collective colour running through all five, with a second colour being different for each one to give them individuality.
- The only concern I have now is whether the mixture of textures within these positives are going to effectively translate into screenprint, as I don't want the final prints to appear poorly crafted.
