Preparation for Crit: Monday 26th April 2010

In preparation for the crit on Monday the 26th April, I am trying to use the imagery I have collected over the past couple of months. I have decided to see what one of the images from Cleethorpes would look like if printed out at different sizes:

Being printed in the dungeon at size A1

On the wall in the studio.

I had this image printed out twice at A1 onto both matt and satin paper to see which one would look better. It seems that satin looks better as its cheesier, and more cliche.

I tried printing these images out at A4 and at 4x6 to see what they would look like. The 4x6 is the standard postcard size which I have used in the past.

As I am currently pre tutorial, I am trying to keep as many avenues open as possible, and one of those is to carry on producing postcards.

As a reaction to the last crit, I sent off postcards and recieved some replies. I was questioned as to why I had framed the last set of postcards the way I did. I have decided to alter the framing, by putting one postcard in a 'double sided' glass frame. This is only a mock up, produced by using two old frames and both pieces of glass in one of the frames. It is highly unstable, however if it proved successful then I could produce my own frames to hang from the ceiling securely.

The question was raised in the last crit as to why they needed framing at all, however at this stage I am unable to see how I can set them out in the exhibition without framing them.
