Different layouts


Heres another layout style which shows a more organic pattern, not so presice. I like how the different sizes works together and draw you in from different distances. You look at each image individualy and also as a whole.
I have also pinned them up on a white wall as in the previous post I had them on a grey floor which wasn't an accurate representation of how the presentation would look. The walls in my space are white. Having the white backgrounds of the images merging with the wihte of the walls makes the framing of each image more confined to the shape of the images I have made. This brings attention more to the images rather than the white blank on the surrounding paper.
For a final presentation this layout would be significantly larger as it has to fill up the space somewhat.

Layout ideas for prints


I thought it ws about time to do some printing and get a feel for what my images actually look like in real life. I printed a range of sizes from 6x4cm up to A3+ and had a look at the different sizes together and layed out in different ways.







This is the A4 sized prints all lined up.


A3+ prints

The layout options are endless but its good to see how they look together and what they do for the viewers.

More Icons





Heres a few More Iconic places Including the Dunedin Railway Station, The Otago Uni Clock Tower and Cape Rienga, the Northern Tip of NZ. I like how these are going at the moment and the process of making them is somewhat hypnotic, alot of cutting and pasting involved.

Driving around

Heres a bit of experimenting playing with google earth and driving to popular places i.e Cape Reinga. Another way or Virtually travelling around the place on the internet.

I later realised that I could get rid of the line and arrows and stuff but its just a little practice exercise.

More google iconic icons......city spaces


I thought I would try a few cityscapes of my layered icons, starting with popular city places like...... Times Square, New York.
I might write a big list of other possible cityscapes to do. Also famous buildings, natural landmarks, and international icons.

This might be my Site Space




At the moment I have been given this space. Its the big wall outside the new 152 lecture room. Just a big white wall with not much on it. I will confirm it asap so I can start analysing the space and thinking about what I can do with it. Its a nice wall anyway, its new, big and has good lighting.






View from the top floor walkway looking down.




(I just found out that I don't have this space anymore but I think I am in the life drawing room with Viet, I will update as soon as I know and add pics)

This is the life drawing room that Viet and I are possibly exhibiting in for site. I would take the far right corner and Viet would take the left hand wall with the middle wall left empty. Theres alot of crap in here that makes it look cluttered but with out it and with a few windows covered there is a few nice walls waiting to be covered. Nice natural lighting and big space would be good for big works.
