Post cards

Concept: 

Brief: Produce a series of postcards, using at least two other medias other than digital reflecting your home town 

Things to consider: reproduction, audiance, expense, legibility, 

Research For this project was carried out into, photomontage, collage, scangography, screenpritning, and photomanipulation.

My home town is a small village, boutique style, these postcards would be one of a kind and made by hand. Experimentation includes, photomontage, scanography & monoprinting. The reason for this is to stick with traditional methods of creating imagery to link with a traditional themed village. 

The print from on the mood boards, are made from transferable patterns and mono - print 

Why were these post cards made? 

Yarm (Home), has started to become more commercial and these postcards, are meant to give a sense of the old yarm as a memory, of something sentimental.

Summerising

This project I have really enjoyed due to the work method which I took, as I was working with my hands and it's the first time i've been able to use the process I used to use before univeristy.  I think that these postcards work well due to the humbleness and boutique look to them which links directly with Yarm itself. If I were to do these again I would be more colourful and use other methods such as letterpress.
