CoP: Process

I went to home base and brought two boxes of tiles in a creamy colour as I wanted them to look dated slightly. I chose to have a rough edge rather than a straight edge as I think this looks better atheistically for the photographs to go on.


I printed out different scaled images to test them against the tiles.


I did one larger than the tile so it would wrap around the edges.

 I did one to scale but because the tile edge is slightly unlevel it doesn't fit so if I was to decide to do it full scale i'd need to use the scale that wraps over the edge.
 I really like this amount of border in ratio to the image it looks like its framed or a polaroid.

This border isn't as good a ratio as the other image. Therefore I have decided to use the smallest scale image as my final size. This is because the edge is uneven and to wrap around could cause creases and for it to look messy. Plus the border frames the image and make it appear like a polaroid which fits the photography aim of the project.


I printed out a test sample of images on lazertran paper and cut them down to the scale that I had chosen from my previous samples.


Then I soaked the images in water and peeled away the image one by one.


I then applied this to the middle of the tile.


The samples went really well and think there fine to use as finals. I'm now going to print the rest of the images off and apply to the remaining tiles.
