Old School Analogue Effects
Scanner Test
Currently we’re working on a project which incorporates abstracted imagery for an office space. To keep within the budget, we attempted to simulate a slit-scan photograph in photoshop. Unhappy with the results, we resorted to some creative thinking. The image above is purely a test, but the effects are interesting. To stretch the image, we moved photos around the scanner whilst it was still scanning.
Chain of Printers
Then i discovered a really clever technique to stylise an image using some old school technology. Each of the colours in this book by Xavier Antin were printed on a different era of desktop printers. The ghosting effect is an usual way to abstract an image; we may need to do some experiments! Check out more images from his book here.
