I wanted to some how keep the tile theme running through on the book. So I painted another tile using a photo, in the same colours as the colour scheme and used it in combination with a line drawing. I also did another drawing on graph paper because I really like how the previous one looked, and is a nice drawing that itself doesn't need changing much. On this one I did keep one photo to minimal editing and that is the one below of the tiled floor. Which because the photo has nice detail in anyway I didn't feel like I needed to alter it.
I wanted to also incorporate some sort of typography in the little book. So I searched high and low for a nice quotation that fit the theme. The type itself is hand drawn and inspired by a sign post I saw in Lisbon.
I think what I like most about these pieces together is they have all been done with different materials or surfaces; collage, graph paper, gouache, inks, pencils, fine liners, photography and photo manip.
I wanted to do one of the images or drawings over two squares to experiment with compisition. I chose this photo because it was quite wide and I felt it would work nicely over two. At first I just put a colour overlay on like the tiled floor, but I felt it was a tad boring and lacked in detail. I wasn't sure how edit it in a way that still retained the photo as a photo and didn't take away from it too much like I have in some of the other edits.
After a lot of thinking I came across the idea of using some shapes in the photo. These were inspired from these photos I found on Disignspiration.net...
I think these are really great and it's a nice simple technique to make a photo a bit more unique.
