To continue exploring my gifs as I didn't feel they were very successful or inspiring to derive ideas from for the vinyl cover, I added all the images as layers in Photoshop and began exploring layering techniques. I find that these are much more successful than the gifs as they represent the experimentative and eclecticness of the genre.
I find the last one to be the most successful as the difference layer effect distorts the image and saturates the colours so that it's more eclectic and eye-catching - experimental but accessible. I took this further by exploring the subtract layer effect which is similar to difference however is much stronger and creates a lot of contrast.
I like how the image came out but still prefer the previous difference layer effect as it was more visible and chaotic. However I still wanted to explore colour more and relate it to the process of screen printing more.
I find that the red and blue one are the most successful as they distort and merge the layers far enough until it's not even legible as the original image. Its contrasts and monochromatic element is really interesting as it creates a sort of rhythm within the image as it looks more textural and symbolic rather than a photograph. The idea that this editing and layer effect distorts it to the point where it's not recognisable as the original image is really representative of the concept that Experimental Pop pushes pop music to its extremes.
