Simplifying things - duotone photos

So, in my head these 3 postcards were going to be trippy, full A6 animations with a composite pattern of my lo-fi dancing folk and each location broken down to form a pattern. That's not to say I won't give it a whirl if I have time. I was thinking of having something like Jane Kendall's lovely linoprints as the full animation/image:

After a chat with Alastair, we went back to the idea of duotone photos. It seems like it could work, I just want to add a different slant so that I'm not just creating a copied version of Sarah's 'look'.

I wandered out to Birdcage walk and St.Werburghs city farm cafe and got a few snaps, which I've duotoned up.

M Shed cranes will follow when I have access to a better camera.

If stepping away from the safety of my Mac to venture out into daylight wasn't brave enough, I decided to beat the stereotype of graphic designers only being capable of monosyllabic grunts to communicate and made some friends:

In all seriousness, I can sometimes get very fixated on trying to make something complex work and knowing when to step back is something I'm getting better at. Heading out into the sunshine was a welcome break (!!) and things are finally starting to feel as if they're moving forward on this project!
