Acetate
While editing images using Photoshop I can’t help but start to think about how I would go about presenting my photographs in the degree show. I know it is still early and my ideas are changing constantly but my main thought at the moment is to print the photos onto acetate.
This idea has arisen from my use of Photoshop. When editing in Photoshop each part of the image you edit has to be done on a separate layer. I could use acetate to generate a non-digital format for my original Photoshop documents.
To display my work in this form I would have the background layer as a photograph printed on photo paper. Then each layer in front of that will be onto acetate possibly only having one image on each piece of acetate.
I will need to further research this idea as I’m not sure on what sizes of acetate you can get and also what the quality of printing will be onto acetate.
