Noisy Score Collage
I returned to St James Quarter to take photos that would help me develop my score into a collage of the experience.
I added more graphical details of the entrances and stairs in St James Quarter because when I returned I didn’t just observe people walking in and out of the building I decided to walk the route as well in order to gain a better understanding of the sounds, rhythm and emotions.
Experimentation
I wanted to incorporate my own photos and sketches into my collage so the frames above are examples of how I tested ways of combining the two different media.
By printing out my photos and tracing over them I was able to achieve accurate and crisp lines which were important to have to express the modernity of St James Quarter.
Developments
To make my collage more visually exciting I used my developing photoshop skills to experiment with different filters, photo effects, layering and opacity. This helped me consolidate a clear colour scheme of orange and blue (complimentary colours) which reminds me of my walks home from the ECA campus in dusk where I often pass St James Quarter which becomes illuminated from the orange sunsets.
