More experimenting and thinking about what i can do for a final piece with task 2...

this was me experimenting with slitting paper to see the kind of effects it has.

i turned the piece on its head, then i tried playing around with it to see what i could getout of it, however i dont think it is good enough to go into my final piece.

I love this piece i tried folding different colours through each other to see what comes out and i really like this piece and that that it will fit in well with my final piece so i will try and see what happens. i think that is really gives a nice image of paper and barely looks like paper at times.

The piece above and the two pieces below, i quite like them i think that it is a interesting piece and gives off a good illusion, i dont really think that it looks like something that people can do with a piece of paper but i think that it looks really good, i am gonna try it in my final piece but i am not sure how well it will fit in.

The piece above and below i wanted to know what else i could do and what other effects i could get out of pleating paper, and i really really like the effect it has, i like that if you pleat it then you can get the effect that you have cut bits out when in fact you actually haven't.

This is my first poster idea, i have done a mock up just to see what it looks like from different angles, i think that it looks pretty cool but dont feel that it does the diversity of paper justice, although it has a nice shadow effect and it would look good all done, with the right pictures, angles, lighting and colours, i do not feel that it is good enough to use as my final piece or vibrant enough.

This is more experimenting with strips of paper to see what kind of effects i can get out of it, i like how it looks and how you cant really tell what is happening within the piece however i cant really see a way that i can fit this into my work.

This is more of the cross fold pleating that i have done previously but this time i did it just with the same colour to see what effect it could have, i prefer it done with 2 different colours i think it looks more fun and exciting , the best thing about this piece is it doesnt take long yet its still very effective i feel.

I was going to try making all letters out of nets and then photographing them all, i came across a problem with this method, when the pieces are done big they take up alot of room and also tend to waste alot of paper,and would be very very hard to photograph so many large letters, however when i did them small letters like S and G where very hard to do effectively and often looks messy and i couldnt really complete them properly or effectively as much as i tried so i moved off this idea

The piece above and below i have done all the way through this project the idea of pleating, it is by a mile my favourite effect with paper, i like how it looks and think that it is really effective, i think that the photo below looks a bit better for it then the one above due to angles used ect, i think that it does look really good, but i feel like i want to explore a different piece of work and even if it doesnt turn out as well i am just going to be happy that i tried something new.

my research and influences for my poster :)

i am sure you all know what fireworks look like but i want to use them as influence they are just so lively and so much fun and most of all catch peoples eye, thats what i need my piece to do, when i think of eye catching the first thing i think of is a firework :D 

i like this peice also the problem being that i want to make it my own and make it more then just looking like the paper is bursting through uniformly, i want to make it very unique and very lively.

images like this helped inpire me for this piece of work, and made me want to do something really different from my first piece of work.

this piece also helped with what i wanted to do with the look of things coming pretty much out of nowhere out of a flat piece of paper.

This is one of the pieces that made me like the idea of stuff exploding out of a page.
i like the bright colours and how it looks just so effective, what i like about this piece is the 'fantasy' element of it, that inside that single piece of paper is something trying to burst out and we can clearly see that there is nothing the other side and we all know how it could be done but at the same time it makes you think for a minute.

After the first task in this project i wanted to do something which was more representative of me, and the wide variety of things you can do with paper also, i wanted to inject colour into this piece, and immediately thought about fireworks. so i used them as some influences but then also looks at the past work i had donein task one to see if i could advance at all on any of that work.

TASK 2..... everthing from it :)

My final paper sculpture photo'd

The photos that are below are all of my favourite photos of my final paper sculpture, i have tried to do a mixture of close up and far away shots to get the most out of my piece. my piece is about 3 meters long and it is a hanging piece that i really like with its organic forms.

 the photo above is my favourite photo i like the forms in it.. and how the curves are really really emphasised.
