The Poster

I printed off scaled images of rulers and glued them onto a cardboard crown I made. It looked alright but I knew I wasn't going to be happy with it not being the real thing.

More Crowns

I wasn't happy with the photoshop results so I played around with different methods of how to achieve a clean image. I used an image from the internet of lots of wooden rulers lined up and made a few clipping masks in the shape of crowns to do this.

Ruler

For our new project I was given the word "wooden ruler" the idea is to celebrate this everyday object. 

  
I had trouble finding decent wooden rulers so I had to photoshop my idea.

Departure

I was thinking about the signage we see in airports and made these for my project. Instead of the symbol of an airplane which is used to indicate the word departure, I used the letter E. The other image is based on the departure board and the font used.

Have Your Passports Ready

Made this up in Illustrator and Photoshop. I took photos of the family's passports and arranged them into the letter E. The file size was huge and my laptop crashed a couple of times but I got there in the end. I think this is a good image for Emigration, tonnes of passports piled on top of one another.

Boxes

These are photos of some boxes I made.

E for Emigration

This is one of my ideas that I did up in illustrator. It shows a tool board with the tools missing or gone to indicate the many tradesmen (tradespeople) that have had to emigrate in order to find work. The top pic should not have some of the tool silhouettes greyed out, I don't know how this happened. Fixed
