Final print

I left the box in its original white colour but made the inside look like a Photoshop transparent layer:  

With a few prints on top it really does resemble Photoshop quite well:

There are many different images you can create after:

I am really happy with the results. And I enjoyed every moment of this project creative process. Screen print was a new thing for me and I am so exited to have this skill now. Of course, there is so much more to learn, but I believe I wont abandon the screen print and only improve in the future.

Final Photo and Layers

I chose Elizabeth's photo for my final and here are the layers I began with:

But when I printed these out and compared them to the prototype I felt as if I went somewhere wrong. These layers felt almost comical while the prototype was more aesthetic without even having new images. So I went back and just cut the image into these layers:

And then created a bit more delicate accessories that doesn't make Elizabeth look like a paper doll:

  

Birmingham Library

I went through a bunch of books in Birmingham library's photo-books section and found only a few suitable for me.

This one looks the most useful to me. I feel that other photos are too blurred and it would be hard to get any layers from them.  

I think I could crop this photo and use one of the girls face for my image:

Even though I like this image I prefer this one for my final:

I can create more layers with this image then the one before.

  

Looking for an old photos

These are some Bournville women that I found:

Julia Varley

Cadbury's workers

Cadbury's angels

Dame Elizabeth Mary Cadbury

As I am going to make my images with screen print the photographs don't need to be a very good quality ones as I will need to bitmap them. But I there are not many images on the Internet so I will go to the Birmingham Library to find more.

The prototype

Second part of the Bournville Village project

The second part is a PRINT. It can be anything : a booklet, poster, small book and etc.

I thought about making a booklet but after one to one tutorials I changed my mind. The new idea is to make something like 'paper version of Photoshop' as this program was the main toll in my video. As Photoshop has many layers I decided to have one image (a portrait) in different colours printed on a semi see-through paper :

    

When you put these layers on top of each other you can create different colours. Later on I improved my idea and decided to have more images than one portrait. It would still be the same image but separated - on one just the hair, on the other one just the face. This is the prototype :

The picture that I used:

As I was creating the prints with silk screen print I had to change the image into black and white and then bitmap it:

then I created different layers:

For my final I will make more layers, add some nowadays accessories - hat, earrings and etc. The colours I am using: magenta, cyan, yellow and black.

The format is going to be A4 and all of the layers are going to be presented as a box book. Something like in the image below but I want the box to have a simple separated lid.

I am still not sure if I should leave the box simple looking and in the brown cardboard colour or change it into Photoshop background like this:

For my prototype I used a random image, but I would like to go back to my original idea and back to Bournville Village. I believe there should be some old pictures of  Bournville women.
