This week in the digital lesson I looked at my colour strip and how to select colours in Photoshop to represent our colour image. My image is a photograph taken by Mike Jones. I came across some of his images in the previous project whilst looking for a colour pallet. I picked this particular image as I felt the colours really jumped out at me and think this is something I want to represent in my prints. Overall my colour image has go quite a flamboyant, rich and warm feel to it, which is what I wanted in my colour pallet.
Also this week I got introduced to the heat press. This transfer print technique took me a fair few attempts to get the colour right on the transfer paper as the disperse dyes aren't the same colour as what they are going to come out like on the synthetic materials when heat is applied. I also added cut out shapes to block some of the colour from going onto the material so create more of what looked like a negative space. Some of these shapes moved and made more of a shadow to the rest of the print but I liked how it created a hazy/ fuzziness to the shapes.
