thinking, thinking, thinking...

So im still not quite sure where to go with this layers project, i've had a few thoughts, but im hoping it will become more clear after I see the demo tomorrow. I thought the best I could do for now would be to jot down what Ideas I have had, in case writing them out helps me think it through, or someone has some feedback that I might not have gotten otherwise.

-QUILTS have layers(backing, batting, top), layers of quilts to keep warm - comfort, beds, utility - printed on canvas with quilted on pieces?

-CLOTHES, as it gets cold we put on more and more layers, covering more and more of our skin with cloth, generally no cloth worn on hands until it's cold, loss of use of hands??

-LANGUAGE, layers of meaning, sarcasm. irony. saying one thing and meaning another and showing yet another with body language/facial expressions.

-EARTH, layers of history buried, compressed, fossilized, clay, soil, stone, like a cliff side blasted for tunnel, layers are exposed

-FOOD sandwiches, pizza, everything is layered, nothing served plain (normally) spices, sauce, cheese, condiments, toppings, etc

well, we'll see what ideas stem from seeing the process in person, and go from there :)

layers?

trying out depth and gradietns:

class notes - next project

layers upon layers upon layers-

-paper has to be layered so as to fit through the printer
-silk screen on top of printed image?
-use newspaper/phonebooks as thin paper
-printed on canvas, the painted on
-"the idea dictates the form"
-grade boosting- tack an extra project onto the end of the semester, revise current projects
-size can be whatever fits you idea best, limited only to width of printer

my current idea - print on fabric, create a quilted piece using layers of fabric. recognizable image?

and some more...

image>ajustments>hue/saturation FTW!

in red?

Troy wanted to see different color, so I'm playing with it a little. While im still biased towards the original, being in my favorite color, it's pretty cool to see it in other colors too. I use CS though, and dont think that CS can do the nifty trick Troy showed us in class with the automatic color palette thing. I should be getting a newer version soon, but until then this is all changed by hand.

I think I'm ok with the negative space not having any details in it, and the contrast between the background and the bird values, but im open to suggestions :D
