Bypass printing development

This was one of my prints from Tuesday. I decided to develop it by adding more texture through bypass printing, from existing pages in my sketchbook.

I like how the stripes interact with the images underneath. I accidentally made the scale of the photocopy a bit larger than I was expecting. I think it's good having the line drawing of the Atomium alongside the white silhouettes underneath.

This one went completely wrong compared to how I wanted it to turn out. I had the sketchbook completely the wrong way up so ended up getting the image on its side rather than the correct way up. But in a lot of ways this is more interesting. I don't think the composition really works though. I don't really like how hard it is to ensure you get a desired effect using bypass printing.

Again this wasn't quite how I expected this image to turn out. However I think the texture of the receipt works really well on the background. It looks very ephemeral. 

I got a bit tired of the unpredictable nature of bypass printing so for this one I was just writing over the top of a photocopy of the original print. I think the texture it creates is nice.

I think the main problem with these images is the large expanse of red ad it seems quite oppressive and busy visually. I want to look at taking some of these images and incorporating more negative space.
