Hand Developments

I have used newspaper, cardboard, and maps which I cut and ripped up and stuck back down on the page in the style of Kurt Schwitters. I also tea stained some pages to give an old effect, and used my own photographs of buildings to use as material.  I found this way of working quite simple and it was easy to match the style of the artist. For smaller details I added numbers and letters.

Digital Development

I used my own photographs and hand development materials which I scanned in and then cut up and re-positioned to make a digital version.  I made this work using Photoshop, using the cut tool.  This work was different to the hand developments because it was easier to find materials and do lots of edits to make different versions of the material. I also used maps, newspaper and letters to match the style of the artist. I thought it would be difficult but it was really simple.
