Final Outcome

This final outcome was a piece each person had to create which would represent some of the work created in this project.

I chose to use the 4 Photoshop manipulated prints, and 2 actual mono prints for my final outcome.

Initially I selected 4 different Lino and Mono prints from the project which I wanted to scan in to the computer, and manipulate on Photoshop. However after getting them onto the computer, I realised there was only one image that I could successfully add another layered image onto and distort the image, with it still looking like the initial print. This print was the butterfly Lino print.

I went online and looked at a variety of images I could use to layer onto the prints. I selected 3 images which linked to the organic project in some way, and then added them to the prints. This created 3 of the 4 manipulated prints. For the final print, I chose to distort the shape of the butterfly slightly by using the liquefy tool and some others.

After this, I then printed out the 4 images as A5 sized images. I then cut them down each print, so that the 4 digitally manipulated prints were exactly the same size. Then I cut the 2 real Lino prints so that they were the same size as each other, however very slightly larger than the digital prints.

At this point, I put the prints onto a A2 piece of paper and rearranged them until I found a layout I liked. I then added 2mm thin black borders to each of the prints and stuck them down to the A2 sheet using glue and sticky back plastic.

Below the images show how I altered the arrangement of the prints, and the final piece:
