To explore the process of generating large scale images from 'bookish' sized collages, I have begun to experiment with breaking down images into oversized colour dot halftones to pursue some visual enquiry into the visual aesthetic suggested by the content of 'Sayonara, Home Run' referred to in the previous post. The imagery has been taken from my 'Medical Cards' series of playing card collages (which are nearing completion - only three cards needed to complete the full set) to consider visual effect. At present I have adopted standard screen angles and CMYK channels for print. As I define the imagery to use for these experiments I will consider variations to process colours as suggested by research into the print qualities of lo fi outcomes such as comics and cardboard printing from the mid 1900's. Experimenting with background colour print (base) is also proving to be important to generate the same visual qualities created by aged newsprint/low quality paper.
