After deciding to put some text in the piece i tried layering the text over the scans in photoshop.

| Font; Courier |
I experimented with different colours as I wanted to see what the best outcome would be. However after trying several different colours I decided that plain black looked the most effective and worked best over the image and keeps it in the same colour tones as there is black on the bees. After layering the text over the images I decided to separate the text and the image into two separate images as I feel they compliment each other well separately. By being together they take away attention the simple pixelized images of the bees. The text looks best in black on the white paper, the font and colour combined reminds me of documenting research/ a report, so I feel they work better as separate images.

 I decided to use this font as when experimenting with others the images did not compliment each other or look linked. Where as this font is old fashioned and could be said to have been one of the first fonts on a computer screen, this connects with the pixelated images as the pixels used to be larger and less of them on the first/old computers. |
