I feel that my project is coming together well now with all I wanted to investigate and do being done. I am pleased with how my paper tutu photographed in the Photo-Story and with all the individual shots from it. I am so glad I used black and white film, I feel the outcomes are very powerful and tell much more of a story than the colours. Also experimenting with various ways of executing the Photo-Story has given me new skills and problems to deal with. Working with the Girls has been a really good opportunity see theirs and others work and how they have influenced others on my course. They have been very helpful and were great models that produced great photos.

When creating my digital version of my Photo-Story I started using InDesign, once that was completed I also decided to do one in Illustrator too for different effects. My Illustrator version (below) is more polished I would say, where as the InDesign version is a bit more 'cut and paste.' The cut and paste feel I feel is a direct response to the Girls and their work.

Mounted Photo-Story

Putting all my images together in a Photo-Story style has really shown how well they all work with each other. I have 'cut out' the girls in a couple of the photographs to give a real authentic comic like feel to the strip. When mounted up together the contrasting colour and black and white shots really compliment each other. The differences in both are brought out and highlighted because of the contrast.

Using photoshop I used the 'coloured pencil,' in artistic filter, then used the 'cut out' option. After this the image was quite cartooned, so I just adjusted the brightness and contrast to make the image a bit sharper. I think the results created are really appropriate for a photo-story.
