Week 7: Monday 12th May 2014
UNIT X
This week I have once again been experimenting in Photoshop, with my scans. Over the course of the project I have created in total about 200 or so images / prints. I have chosen my 6 final digital prints to be printed on a crepe de chine fabric. Timing is essential at the moment and I have put the Prints in on Tuesday to be hopefully ready by Friday. In which in the final week I will over lock and take photos of. I have decided on a SQUARE scarf style and print 30 inches by 30 inches for technical reasons as the objects I scanned were small, creating a long scarf stretched the image and some of the text too much. I have been inspired by Hermes and their more traditional shape scarf as a square rather than a rectangle, in addition Hermes use objects as inspiration for their scarves, from buckles, to belts.

I have concluded that I will be displaying the prints in an Artist Book, either A3 or A2. I have been experimenting with a selection of different papers to choose from for the final book.
And been creating the final book whilst my final 6 scarf samples are sent to print.

The cream cartridge paper is most suited to all my digital samples and is in keeping with my concept and the original objects and books I scanned in. I have also received some advice from book binding and to be able to create a book. A3 is more of a cost effective size and I can add too / change accordingly for exhibition. The pages I have selected are a taster of each collection, wood floor, books and tins.
