I ended up choosing pictures that included every piece of bacon so I could use each one to add to the quantity of bacon so it could reflect mass slaughter and production of meat. 

The editing for these pieces took a few hours to complete because of the intricacy of cutting out the background. I cut out each slice of bacon so I could easily remove the background and move around the slices of bacon to achieve my desired outcome. To add more to my bacon quantity I duplicated some of the bacon slices and flipped them upside down or mirrored the image to add diversity.

The placement of the bacon was important because I wanted it to take in the same amount of satisfaction as eating bacon, yet obviously a synthetic satisfaction achieved by looking at the piece with the bacon perfectly placed in line with each other by using the rule of thirds. 

Adding colour was my last step to compliment the meat. I have used colours associated with being artificial to add to the effect of the unnatural process of the meat industry. I also used red for one edit to emphasize the colour because of its significance in the process of the killing and eating of meat.
