Completed final prints and their uses

Here are the selection of prints I created after the visit by Gridula.

I decided to use a variety of stocks in an attempt to achieve different effects. All part of the trail and error process, but I quite like having those 'non perfect' examples to hand', everything can be resurrected in photoshop anyway in my opinion.

I created these prints as a title for my website, 'History re coloured in RGB' but then I intend to create print based material around these photographs so then the title of the project would be 'history recoloured in CMYK' due to the colours being printed, I planned ahead and created both types of print.

This is by far my preferred print and also photograph, the detail in this character's face has really been brought out by the close up macros lense.

I am more than happy with the print and very pleased that I chose to print something which directly benefits my project rather than just a quote for my wall.

I attempted to create a gradient style effect by showing that colour was coming back into my sentence by overlaying the black with red ink, unfortunately the black ink completely over took this colour and the effect wasn't quite achieved. 

This is a thin brown paper stock which I attempted to print on to gain the historial effect, the print man claimed it was risky to print on due to the weight of the stock but despite that it came out quite interestingly and was nice to use a stock which wasn't boring traditional white. 

I scanned in my prints as high quality Tifs so they could be used on editing software and their quality would not be lost. I already had plans of what I wanted to do with these scans so once they were saved I began working on these pieces using photoshop.

Here are the full collection of sprints which I have created and used a high resolution scanner to put these into the digital domain.

The final product resulted in the print being inverted (the black became white) and then using the screen layer mask the layer was placed over my older title. Definitely by using a hand rendered pieces it achieves much more of a personal feel in adverse to just simply using part of the adobe font folio.

Previous computer generated title

This was my previous title using the font Playbook script which I had downloaded online.

The serif on this font has impact, don't get me wrong, but the newer title being hand created has much more of an authentic feel, so for this reason I am very pleased that I had created this print.
