BA (Hons) Illustration 2010

Here i managed to get the still unseen group photo from last month off of Rosy Maguire and all the outtakes. The above image is after the 'jump' she made us do during the shoot.

final entry

as a final entry for my presentation document, today i received my moo cards
sadly i'm not completely happy with them - the printing resolution and paper/cardstock were excellent but, in particular with my monochrome images they are washed out - in fact there is no real black at all.

I'm going to consult with people online and then see if i should go through there returns process.

catalogue cover ctd

frustrating day, i finalized (although did not hugely alter the composition) stuck down, and eventually was able to come into the university and scan it in digital photography suite, jm035 on epson scanners
here is the final stitched scan, and the intended crop for the catalogue cover.

This morning i picked up the 4x6 prints from Boots
Long day, i attempted to complete the
loosely onto A1 cartridge paper in the studio JM033

many rejected joiners (see photos), with many alternate routes that could be taken

eventually one section which included 'BA (Hons) Illustration' stood out and that was selected as the central part
in the afternoon, i met with Peter and Ceri
we decided to reject the idea of having the text running across the entire wrap, so 'BA (Hons) Illustration 2010' is now completely on the cover, but the line can be followed to around the back
the images of the hands from the first shoot in the park
in addition add other bits like the birds, sky pieces, tree trunk in the park and other suggestions of things to push the fragmented, cubist/futurist feel of the piece.

Cyanotype Argyrotype workshop #2

Second Cyanotype and Agyrotype workshop
first year Christian, Laura Wells , Simon Abbott, Ben Evenett and Derek also attended this session

The weather wasn't great for sunprinting, throughout the day it grew worse and more overcast. Againg some good stuff came from the brown agyrotype process throughout the day , however as last time the cyanotypes got gradually worse and washed out further through the day.

we tried many different things including mixing up a fresh batch of sensitizer, allowing the e coated paper to dry naturally, using a hairdryer, exposing for extended periods of time (40 mins in the windowsill), but the cyanotypes were still very washed out.



later in the afternoon Rosy organised the use of the UV exposure unit in the printmaking studio (jm008) to cook the coated paper. A great advantage of using the unit is the control given - a timer that counts in the amount of light also we were able to still use contact printers , simply laying them under the hood. However because it is face down we cannot see judge visual changes and a reduced ability to use objects.
The acetates for the agyrotypes worked very well - particularly the Viva metal type image pictured.

its obvious that the cyanotypes only work in actual yellow sunlight on a clear day - this was a shame as the were several images , particularly shop signage photos that i had intended to print were unable to be printed.

boots

was able to finish photographing the Viva metal type logo identical process as

using my Canon Ef-s 60mm macro lens and a led studio light ton my desktop , i am intending to take this to the cyanotype/agyrotype workshop on monday
using my spartan 18pt type i completed a editorial image about deep structures ands tracts of language


howver most of the day was spent sorting and selecting the photos of the two clothesline photoshoots
as it is hard to tell what will and won't work i only got the images down to around 750
due to the large volume to print, they needed to go into the commercial photo developers (Boots) for 24hours instead of 1hr due to cost and since tomorrow Rosy Maguire is conducting a second cyanotpye and agyrotype workshop, they are not needed immediately
