DONE!!!


Maths isn't my strong point

working out the spacing was so confusing!!!

Eventually i got there... and doing the first line was confusing! but the feeling when i got to the end of that line was one to be remebered... and repeated 17 times.





4 painstaking days later after labelling, sticking, cutting, scalpelling and measuring I got there

Slide Mounting

I looked into all different mounts that I could mount my slides, but after all the options open to me i decided that white card was the best option. Because i didn't want anything too fussy, also I wanted to print onto the slides the file name of each image to show that they have come from digital pictures, and it keeps the pictures annonomous.

I bought 300 white carboard slide mounts... they were very hard to get hold of, but I eventually found a company called Process Supplies.

Then I found a special paper called Transtext which i could print onto and stick onto each slide mount, its not visible unless you look very closely.

Below is an example of my templates I had to cut out... I could get about 30 to a page, and the file names.







My messy 'creative' workspace

Ordering the slides

I found a company called Digital Slides who convert digital files into slides. He sent me a couple of examples because I was nervous they wouldn't be right, but when I recieved them they were perfect!

after recieving these I uploaded 200 to the website and they arrived 2 days later in one long reel...
