I was quite pleased with my mock final outcome as it means that I am beginning to visualise more clearly what my real final outcome will look like. I think that each individual composition has come together to form one outcome well, even though I have used different lines in each one. I think that the acrylic paint in the foreground ties together each photograph as one composition. However, I do think that there needs to be more harmony between each photograph to really fix these together as having the same concept regarding stereotyping and individuality. As there are only small circular marks in my composition, I think there needs to be some larger ones so that there is a variety of sizes throughout. This would allow me to make mark that overlap between photographs and therefore linking them together. I worked back into my mock final outcome to see if this would work or not. I have used a plate to print a larger circular mark shape over the photograph. I have done this using green and yellow paint as I think these would stand out the most against the other colours that I have used already. I found that using the yellow paint was most effective as it really draws attention to the composition, as well as continuing a positive mood throughout. I don't think that the green worked well as it didn't show up enough against the photograph to really pinpoint a focus on the composition. Also, I am going to place a white board beneath the photographs so that when I print the larger circular marks, they can overlap and link each photograph together.
As I am exploring the exam stimulus based on the reductive process, I thought that I could exaggerate this to make it clear which stimulus I am responding to. As I have thought about adding larger circular shapes to my outcome, I have removed a section of a circular line from two of the photographs to see if I this would form an effective harmony. After doing this, I think that this provides too much of a clean line and detracts attention from the organic marks that I have made in the foreground of the photographs. Additionally, getting both cuts to be the exact shape on each side is difficult and so the circular line isn't very neat.
Additionally, I could overlap the wallpaper that I have used in the background with a transfer of the line work that I have done into the newspaper. This would add more depth to each section and create more of a balance between the surfaces that I have used in the background. I have tried doing a celotape transfer of the newspaper so that I could stick it over the wallpaper. I have done this on a small sale to see what it would look like. When I did this, the pink lines haven't shown up very well as it is a lighter colour and so the pigment has been lost. I am going to try photocopying this onto acetate instead and see if the pigment of the colour is still vivid.
Furthermore, the wallpaper that I had used didn't include a wide range of bright colours like I had been using in my developments. This was because the wallpaper that I had been using only had small area of colour in and so wouldn't have filled the areas that I had removed from the photographs. As a result, the wallpapers that I used weren't as effective and I didn't think as closely as to where I was placing theme due to the time constraint. For my exam I have sourced a selection of wallpapers that have large areas of colour so that they will fill the areas that I cut out. Additionally I have got wallpapers which have various bright colours in them so that there is a wide colour palette.
