Finished Images - Chatham Dockyards

Final images, I am very happy with the outcome and they all look great mounted on wood.

Printed on semi-gloss photography paper and mounted on MDF wood.

Type and Image Test

I think this works really well, the type and image are working in harmony and still keeps the abstract effect. The wording is also much better than before, I have kept it simple and descriptive, just like the images.

Hamish Fulton and Richard Long

Hamish Fulton and Richard Long are two artists who use photography and type in their work. The relationship between the type and image is difficult to achieve without giving a advertising edge. Both of these artists have achieved this by integrating the words with the image in such a way that they become one object. I think this is the solution to my project and I want to use similar techniques to them to solve the problem I have with combining the type and image. I want to use descriptive words about the object in the photograph and from my feelings of the atmosphere of the place as the type.

I have decided that I am not going to make my final piece an advert for chatham. I originally wanted my outcome to be less commercial than my previous projects. I want to concentrate on the images and words that reflect my experience of the place. Maybe the chatham advert could be used to just show an application for my images.

I can't make the images work with text and image separate so I have started to concentrate on making them work together. I think this gives a less commercial feel but still reflects graphic design within my photography. Here are a few mock ups for text on image.

I want the final pieces to be as big as the space will allow and I want to screen-print the text over them as I tried in previous tests.
