Having created a stack of printed material at this point, I scanned them all in on Friday and wanted to see what I could do with them digitally.
After playing around with those scans for a while, here's some of what I ended up with...
Talking to Ben made me realise that going straight to the computer with these images is probably just wasting time. When I'm not sure about what I'm doing I could spend hours just messing with digital software and editing stuff forever.
Even though these test images gave me some things to think about, for now I think it's important that I go back to my desk, going away from the endless possibilities and choices and buttons of the computer.
This week I need to photocopy some reference images to use, and begin collaging and mocking up potential images or even pages. This approach is similar to how I reached a conclusion with my zine.
If that's anything to go by, hopefully I'll end up with some useable ideas for book content.
Important things: Shape, photos, scanner and photocopy experiments, distorting images, collaging, play
