Typographic Portrait: More WIP Works

This post basically contains the process of the book page making for the project.

Book Page in the making

Setting up for an experiment!

Testing the effect of (1) how well the paper is after water is spread on it (2) the difference between using watercolour pigment itself (darker blue) and watercolour pencil (lighter blue)

Below are the snapshots of the compiled book pages unedited and edited, versions after versions.

(I would have put the original compiled images here but the file was too big)

Top row: Portraying of myself being emotional perhaps? Bottom row: Scanned version of watercolour-ed drawing

Top row: Testing of watercolour and applying water onto watercolour pencil to see the effect

With all these versions that I had, I came to a conclusion of what I’d pick for the final 4. (But of course still couldn’t actually decide!)

After all the research I did, I tried it out on my book page, scanned it in and gave a little bit of editing — more to enhancing the image with exposure and all.

Then I realised after I did all these, that I am somewhat at the metaphor or conceptual phase, for example: the thumbdrive, the binoculars, and perhaps the calculator represents tells something about me. Or more to representing me?
