Manipulate Images Workshop

Manipulate Images Workshop

As designers, we can manipulate images to be perceived how we want them to be.
For the brief, we need to manipulate images relating to our space/book based on how we felt in the space, how we remember it or how we can re-translate the general ideas of the original image.

These images can be:

• Photographs
• Typography
• Illustrations
• Maps etc

Thomas Albdorf - takes found images and edits it more physically. He took a found image of a flower from his home town, Austria, and recreated it by taping a flower over an image which creates a new idea of Austria.

Recontextualising things - taking images out of their context and placing them in a different one. Could be just a cut out pasted on a blank background.

Letting images come out of their original borders onto the page margins - bringing attention to a specific detail or forcing the physicality of the object in the image.

Overlaying images/papers to create relationships between different images - a new composition - a new image. E.g printing images and holding them up to the light to see through it.

Magnify into images - viewing details that may be overlooked.

Drawing onto the image to draw attention to details or just to add to the image.

Task: Need to create 6 manipulations of an image or multiple images and print it then stick to the wall to create new relationships between the work.

I was inspired to continue experimentations inspired by pages from James Longdon's Eastside Projects and Joe Gilmore's void as they experiment with layout of information on a page. This relates to my task of exploring how information can share the page as a direct link to my theme.
