Process I : Double exposure first tryout
Tutorial
My practice piece
Process II : Exploration on the background
Of similar colour. (analogous?)
Of plain white background. (keep it simple/minimal)
Of a different colour. (to contrast)
Of a gradient/colour scale. (softer colour transition)
Of a complex background. (to blend in with background)

Rhyme: The cat and the fiddle
Hey, diddle, diddle!
The cat and the fiddle, (my chosen line)
The cow jumped over the moon;
The little dog laughed
To see such sport,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.
Process 1: Choosing the overall style (Halftone/Threshold/Posterize)
Original images.
Individual halftone on cat and fiddle, respectively.
Final (halftone)
Final (Threshold)
I decided to use threshold because i prefer the sharpness it gives and also the contrast. Also, some of my images doesn’t work well with halftone where they become extremely pixelated and thus losing the image.
Process 2: Exploration on technique/style (Realistic vs Minimalistic)
Process 3: Exploration on technique/style (Repetition)
Process 4: Exploration on technique/style (Playing with the negative and positive)
Since i inverted the colours, i realised some layouts turned out good in both white on black and black on white. I had some difficulties choosing the better one hence i had a idea to put them together, getting my inspirations from pop art.
To push the idea further, i was inspired to try Optical art as well.
However, after piecing it together halfway, i realised it does’t really work, hence i scraped this idea.
Final (297mm x 297mm):
