The Making of my Final Outcome

As I decided to mix some of my favourite artists styles, I needed to choose a medium that I was strong at and would give the finish that I wanted. I decided to use watercolour and fineliner to produce my unique illustrative pieces. I made sure I had my artists work open on the relevant pages to inform the work I was producing.

To begin with I drew out all of the recipe photos in pencil, before I applied watercolour. After all my pieces had been painted I used fineliner over each piece to give it an illustrative style. I then cut out each of the images, and applied them to 21x21cm pieces of card, before cursively writing the recipe out around the image how I wanted it to look. After this, I scanned all of the pieces, and on photoshop, edited the levels of the image, removed any marks with the mend tool, and made sure all of the images were exactly 21x21cm so they'd fit in the photobook.

After editing the images, and I was happy with all of the final pieces, I downloaded a software that I could create my photobook with. I added in all of my jpeg images, and used the text tool to write the full recipe on the opposing side of the page. Once I was happy with the look, I sent the document off to be printed.
