Today I have been experimenting with A1 scale using cut outs and negative spaces from photographs of my found, organised objects. I struggled initially with the size difference and found it hard to use colour in this size- especially when most of the A1 papers were white- I had some pre coloured ones but now I am not to sure on the overly textured coloured big size papers. I tried to work with the white papers and I thought it worked quite well, the colours really popped against the pale background and the shapes looked cleaner and more refined than my previous drawings. Nick mentioned to work back into these drawings with screen printing, blocking and masking out the areas I had already applied college and colour, then slightly skewing the screen to create white areas and coloured areas around the design.

After spending the afternoon drawing large, we had an AVA session where I aimed to learn further colour separation techniques. I found this so helpful as my drawings are fairly easy to tonally separate  and is useful to do this to see the drawings/designs in different ways.

I also prepared for laser cutting on illustrator, creating shapes to be cut out to create cut out negative space pieces. I used the shapes from my drawings and prints to then duplicate the shapes in the print. I also prepared for CAD which I have booked for Friday.
