Today I scanned and printed my final image. I mounted my three models onto an A3 piece of white paper. This was then scanned ready to be printed on matte luster paper. I was really impressed with my final outcome. I slightly adjusted the scanned image in photoshop adding more saturation before printing. I decided to do this as the main focal point was the collaged clothing which was not making a strong enough impact. Apart from this minor adjustment there were no other changed made to the image. The collages printed out much better than I anticipated.
The collaging looked extremely good when printed out, as if it was actually the models clothing. This did take a lot of time and effort to make but I am happy I made it by hand and not on Photoshop. This showed my experimental side and hand making skills. I decided to incorporate 3 different models doing different body positions as I wanted to collage different parts of their clothing. I collaged all three models with things that represents me or items I am interested in. I covered the first models trousers with different make up products. The second model had her top and bottom half collaged in cupcakes. My final model I collaged in different types musical artists which I have a keen interest in. I purposely chose to leave the background white due to the models clothing already being busy, colourful and dominant.
As a whole I really enjoyed this project as it enabled me to create something hands on. However if I was to experiment with something similar in the future I would possibly use Photoshop. This would allow me to create more defined images and would be less time consuming.
