Phone photos

Just some images of process that have been on my phone

Mocking up prototype #1

Saville Overseeing craftmenship

Mock up portraying effect well

Stacked CMYK layers

Saturation level perhaps need adjusting

Effect becomes more apparent from angle

Chuffed

Multi colours providing interesting effects

Concept/Prototype intending to display an opposite stalactite effect on the contours of Wellingtons hilly environment. We have since disregarded this idea in order to focus on our other CMYK concept

Safety first - Great to see

Larger scale CMYK providing work better than smaller scale

Young Harry very happy with his perspex mock up

Although aesthetically very pleasuring we are not confident this will have the opacity variance needed in order to create a full colour image. Issues surrounding wind need to be addressed also

Large scale map printed in order to brain storm locations for display images. This was helpful in finding correlations between spots as we see this as a requirement

Some exploring to be done!

Potential hanging solution for Fridays test instal

A Kids drawing illustrating a potential hanging method, eyelets would be used in the corner of acetate images, perforation would need to be considered to allow for wind.
