patrick: photographed on the light table? or scanned? the layering is more obvious maybe on the table.
matthew: is the type printed? the images and your treatment are really refined, but your type feels a little like an afterthought.
patrick: does the vinyl cover have these layers, or is it reproduced flat?
abby: i'd love to see what happens when you project something.
lillie: is each image at a different opacity? play around with that… maybe not make an entire transparency the same opacity, like maybe the transparency could vary, like the crowd of people could be at different levels.
marty: if it's not in your final ruleset to use all 11 pieces, maybe use fewer.
patrick: have you ever experimented with transparent bases and screenprinting? multiplying ink instead of transparencies. or running it through the konica multiple times.
marty: i think this is a really interesting process of formmaking. go back to the analog type of the dot book… try out different sizes and collages and changes.
jw: colors? archetypal objects and colors?
collin: it's already pretty psychedelic, so watch out with the type… keeping it plain might speak to the blues roots more than doing too much, but try to balance for variety.
Moving on from this I started to look at my treatment of type in the next album cover with the intention of applying any new techniques to last weeks cover. The cover was created in the same way with overlaid transparencies but this week the type was also included. The artist name and album cover were split onto their own transparencies and given hierarchy. The artist name is quickly read but the lighter album name does not appear as suddenly.
