Recess Week | Disturb

Original Images:


Process: 
    
Employing collage, tracing and paper cutting skills, I came up with my final image. 

Final Image:
For the backdrop, I had duplicated the space section so that it would fit within the circle.

Response:
Initially, I had intended for the image to look like a coffee and a donut on a circular plate. However, The space station still looks like a space station, whereas the donut looks more like a planet. The ferris wheel acts more like a frame or window of some sort. The repetition of the circular shape creates harmony in the final image.

Description:
On a black background, the image looks like a window looking out to space. The final image completely deviates from the three sourced images although the theme of space might remain, largely because of the backdrop used.

Analysis and Interpretation:
Once again (similar to previous tutorial exercises), the background plays a significant role in contextualising and giving meaning to an image.

Evaluation:
Perhaps, to achieve my intended look, I should not have included the space backdrop behind the frame. I also wonder what my final image would turn out to be if it was a black paper cutting instead of a white one.


Digital Experimentation:
When it is made black, the frame fails to stand out because of the lack of contrast between the frame and the backdrop. I had to add white in between the space station and the donut to make them discernible. 

In an attempt to further simplify the image and add greater contrast, I coloured the elements white (positive and negative space). Here, the image is visually appealing and clear because of the stark contrast between black and white. 

Here, I applied a different background in the hopes of making the space station and the donut look more like coffee and donut on a plate. By using a different background, the space element and theme disappears. Although it still does not look, convincingly, like a coffee and donut on a plate. Perhaps, it is due to the scale and composition of the image.
