Museum Of Colour. Graphic Invitations.

Continuing with museum of colour for graphics I decided to make a series of invitations inviting people to the event.

I used adobe Photoshop to create my invitations first I scanned in different images of my white objects, placing them in different positions each time. Then I placed them on top of each other in layers and used the effect tool to enhance the image.

I used the difference effect and luminosity because I found these most effective. I then used the text tool to place the text

Creating A Frame For My Resin Objects.

 Creating a frame depended largely on the length of each of my wires; some of them were shorter than others because I had casted towards the end of the wire instead of the middle.

I sanded each of the 4 pieces of wood using 240 grade then using a steel rule I measured each piece of wood and using a pencil marked were it needed to be cut.

The using the band saw cut each piece of wood to the specific length.

The pieces of wood were then later assembled together using a staple gun and glue.

I then later sanded the frame again to get rid of the glue marks that were left over from assembling it, I used 240 grade for the second time.
