Today is the start of week 4 of my project and according to my project i should be creating my initial ideas and final idea by the end of the week, but so far i am still in the early stages of experimenting.

However i did create a range of photograms, i started by getting all my stencils as they are semi-transparent and relate to typography. I then experimenting wit the amount of light and the exposure time the photogram needed, with the technician Mike. Through experimenting i found that the best quality was with a magenta filter through, this made the objects have more contrast and made the photogram clearer and crisper. After creating a few good negatives with the magenta filter, i then created positives of each one to see the comparison.

I think that my photograms came out really well because of the stencils i used, as the were semi-transparent and once layered on top of each other they became almost opaque apart from a few details of the lettering coming through.

Overall i think i had quite a productive day, i was extremely pleased with how the photograms came out. I have also handed in my designs to place over my research to be screen printed, so hopefully they may have been placed on the board for me to screen print with.
