Final Outcome: Printed Pictures
This is my final outcome for the printed aspect of my submission. Firstly, my initial ambitions for the book were that it would be completely screen printed so that it would have significant authentic value, and would have a much nicer physical texture. However, as I have stated previously, this project has allowed to have the worst printing experience I've ever had, even after 2 attempts. Unfortunately, most of the images on the back side of the book, pages 6-12, are mostly terribly printed, purely because they were the best I could get my images to be. On the pages where printing has actually worked, I am happy with the image quality and compositions etc, and think that they really reflect the techniques of the inspiring artists. In terms of colour, I am not completely happy with the images, and feel that my images could be even more atmospheric with darker colours. Alot of people have commented on my black and white screenprint positives(thinking they are my images) and saying they are very striking, which is perhaps something to think about when preparing for the Colours May Vary show. Overall I am adamant that my book needs more work before it is an effective piece of print, despite it having small elements that I really like. I am really glad that I decided to challenge myself to make a book, because although not successful(in my opinion), the process has taught me so much about time management, and preparing for failure.
Final Outcome: Moving Pictures
Here is my final outcome for the moving pictures aspect of my submission, which I am so happy with. I have never used after effects before, and for a first attempt I am amazed that I have been able to achieve what I initially wanted to. I feel that I have learnt so much from the storyboarding workshops etc, and that it shows in this animation. I really like my dynamic use of angles and shadows, and I think that the colours used are so atmospheric, almost as though I've created a small world inside my sting. One of the only things that bothers me about my sting, is the image quality in some places which is pixelated, which I think could've been handled more professionally. Another regret is that my sting doesn't really link with my printed work in terms of concept, but I think that the use of texture and colour scheme allows it to be viewed as a collection.
