 Testing and readjusting acetates:


Due to my previous acetates being too light and transparent I need to go back onto photoshop to make them darker. To do this I used the curves feature on photoshop and slowly adjusted the contrast until I thought that the image was dark enough while still keeping the details. I was happy with the results but I will need to do some test cyanotypes to see if they have worked properly.

 Perfecting the digital collage: Moving forward with my digital collage I decided create a word document of positive affirmations and overlay them with photographs.

I did the same for the other two images and tried to make sure that the sections I was cutting out were following some of the natural lines present in the image so that they didn't look too random and followed some kind of pattern.  I really love the contrast between these images and my first digital collages, I think that the use of positive affi...

  FMP Project Proposal: Exploring the subconscious: For this project I wanted to explore themes of the subconscious and dreams, as well as lucid dreaming. I believe that dreams are an important part of everyones lives, including mine. I wanted to move away slightly from my previous project and the themes of the natural word while still incorporating the surreal elements that were being seen in my final cyanotypes. To do this I have decided to explore the subconscious, the subconscious influences our lives and actions in ways that we often do not realise or understand. I wish to delve into the mind, dreams and even showcase the act of taking control and becoming aware, in ways such as lucid dreaming. I have always been interested in the surreal and am especially drawn to surrealist artists such as Hannah Hoch and Leonora Carrington, with their works seemingly bridging the gap between dreams and reality.  For primary research, I worry that this might be difficult for me as the m...
