I've really started to resent putting together this book for 504. Digitally testing things over and over, nothing seems to be working? I feel that I'm not being as inventive as I could be.
And the short time we have left isn't really helping either. I could very well churn out 16 pages from the stuff I've started making, but I'd be really dissatisfied with it and disappointed.
Using my mono prints in the way I have, I think I've got stuck into using the same formula over and over - line, filters, texture, colour, that's it. I'm not sure what I need to do to get away from this, and make the work better.
I feel like a one trick pony!! I don't know what else I can do.
These are some digital tests I've been doing. They started out okay, but have become really samey and repetitive. When I imagine them all together in a book I don't think they'd look good - it's too much of the same thing. And this is without them being totally finished.
Do I need to look at things more compositionally? Do I need to use a whole mono print, or just a small section of it? I think I might try and start again. Aaaaaaaaaaaaa
Let's think about: typeface, text, writing, composition, layout, spot illustrations? full page? off the page?, colour scheme...
