First Presentation

When I start mounting my images, I am going to present these series of images together on a black piece of card. Firstly, I will mount them using white foam board ensuring that none of it can be seen. I am going to do this because when I present them on the black piece of card I want the images to be slightly elevated instead of blending in with the card. I think this will be the most effective way to show these images because there is a lot of white in my images and I feel as though putting them on black card will make them stand out more due to the contrast of the background. I also feel as though this is the most effective way because the background is dark it will make the images stand out more and catch the viewers eye.

I used a knife tool, to cut around my images to ensure that they are all the same size and shape before using spray mount to stick them onto foam board. Once I had completed this, I cut around the white foam board so that it was the same size as my image and to ensure there was no foam board seen when looking at the image. I then used a pencil to sketch out where I wanted to place the three images and to ensure they were all equally spaced out. After this, I used double sided tape to stick the images onto the black piece of card. Once I had done this I measured the sides of the card and made sure that they were all even and the same length apart from each other and from the sides.

I really like how my first final presentation of my images turned out. This is because I like how the contrast of the back and white really makes the images stand out. I also like the order I have placed them in because the middle one is slightly more different to the other two which has a nice pattern to it. If I were to do this again, I would maybe print out the images A4 as I printed mine in A5 and they came out a bit small.

Second Presentation

When presenting my this series of images, I am going to present them on white foam board. I have chosen white foam board because I feel as though the contrast between the black colours in the images will stand out against white card. I think this will be the most effective way to present my images because the white background will make the images stand out and will allow the viewer to focus on the details of the images and notice the differences of each one.

I started by trimming down all the images to get rid of any unwanted areas around the image itself, after this I stuck the images down on a white piece of foam board. I then used the spray mount to stick the images down before using the knife tool to cut round the foam board right up to the image to ensure there is no foam board showing when looking at the image. I did this to allow the illusion of the images being raised and coming out of the background because it meant that they weren’t all the same level. After this, I used another big piece of foam board and laid out my images to see which way round would look best. After I had decided the order, I used a pencil and a ruler to measure out the sides and decide how much foam board I would be leaving out to be visible. I then used double sided tape on all the images to stick them down onto the big piece of foam board. After I had completed this, I used the knife tool to cut off any excess piece of foam board that weren’t within the measurements.

I really like how I presented my images because of the differences of each image coming together to make one canvas. For this presentation I like how I have left the foam board on display to contrast with the images.

Third Presentation

When presenting this image, I am going to use a black piece of card for the background as I feel it would be the most appropriate for this set of images. I think this will be the most effective way to present my images because there is black in my image and I feel as though it will go well with showing the different dimensions and illusions that are in this image. I am also going to mount the image up onto a bit of foam board to raise the image from the background to create the idea that the image is coming out of it. I think this will look good as the image is quite gory and the black background correlates to this idea.

For this image, I used the cutter to get a clean precise edge on the two images instead of using scissors. After this, I got a big piece of white foam board and used mount spray to stick them onto it. I then used the knife tool to cut around through the foam board around the image ensuring that no form board was left on show as I wanted the background to be purely black. After I had completed this, I used a pencil and a ruler to create markings on the black piece of card to ensure that both images were the same distance apart from the edges so that they were equal. After I was happy with the measurements, I used double sided tape to stick the images together. I chose to put my two images on top of each other, this is because I liked how this looked and I liked how it created a sense of symmetry as they are similar images edited the same way.

I really like how I presented my images because I like how the black background contrasts with the images to make them stand out and ensure that the illusions are the focus point of the image. If I were to present my images again, I would make the images brighter because in one point there is a dark area on one of the images that blends in with the background.
