UNSUCCESSFUL PRINTS
Week 2:
UNSUCCESSFUL PRINTS
I have moved away from using the photocopier to create collages and scans and begun to use the scanner and Photoshop to edit. This has been a large improvement for quality and quantity of work for my practice.
Using Photoshop, I have been digital printing my collages and photographs onto fabric focusing on scale, colour and composition. Initially I have chosen a canvas material but will refine fabric choice once I have re-evaluated the first printed samples.
Below are a selection of my first A4 fabric prints on canvas. The canvas fabric made the image quality poorer than I expected as it is a loose weave. I have selected a Crepe de chine for my next samples.
My focus on colour was also poor, the digital printer changed it from a pale red to a salmon colour, the samples have too many layers making them complicated and loosing the 'Moment' in time I am recreating instead they look like a collaged mess.

The digital print on a canvas fabric, the quality became poor due to using low quality images and colour was not as I desired due to fabric choice.
