Double Exposures
Below are three digital experiments that I did in Photoshop using a double exposure technique.
For the first experiment I used a photo of a hair brush and an apple. These two images represents Snow White and Rapunzel. I made the hair brush the background layer as I felt that it would be more effective at the back. Once I had the made a contrast changed to the hairbrush, I then started to edit the apple picture. I adjusted the filters of the apple and copied it three times to get different effects on each apple. I placed the fruit image onto the brush, but still being able to see what was behind it.
The next double exposure I made was of shoes and flowers, these are connected with Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella. Again I adjusted the contrast on the flowers to make them look slightly more vibrant than the original. Then I placed the shoe photo on top of the flowers and changed the image into an overlay, allowing the flowers you show as well.
For the final experiment, I chose my our photography of a tree, this would resemble Little Red Riding Hood in the woods. I wanted to use the same image for this experiment, but having different effects on each layer. I changed one of the layers so that it turned blue, another I turned upside down and lowered the opacity and the final one I just made the contrast more effective.
All In all I like this double exposure idea because you can combine lots of images or drawings that all work well together. This maybe a possible idea for my book jack designs.

Clipping Masks
The next experiment that we I did was to create a clipping mask image using a photo I had taken. The process was basically to use the shape tool three times getting smaller and changing colour also.
I firstly started of with the high heel shoes, I used a oval shape and the colour blue. I used the oval shape to get three different sized images of the shoes and then made them all blue with slightly different shades. I did this method for the rest of the clipping mask photographs. A red circle for the apple, a purple cloud shaped mask for the flowers and a green oblong shape for the photo of my dog.
These photographs all link in with my chosen books, I will now take more images that relate to the stories and create more clipping mask images, because I think the effect it gives the photos is unique and adds a bit of life with the colour that has been chosen. I feel that this experiment and technique is particularly different to ones that I have followed before because such a smile effect of changing the shape of a picture or the colour can give you a eye-catching effect and seem to be more drawn towards it.
