I decided that for the triangle crop I wanted to to use an image where there would be a triangle type of shape already. I first tried with this lady sitting at a bench when I was figuring out how to make a triangle. Since she was in the bottom corner of the frame I chose a right angle triangle. It looked like the triangle was too long however since there wasn’t anything happening to either side of the woman so I adjusted the image so that it matched her position instead so that the bench filled the bottom and the lady filled the corner. This worked out better and is how I went about cropping other images.

I tried another type of triangle which I didn’t like as much and decided to create shapes by combining 4 different crops.

I think that arranging these into shapes can create interesting arrangements which I like the look of. I plan to create a large topology of triangles with different colours and subjects for the final presentation of this project. I will print the triangles onto A5 and experiment with levels like this:

I would like to use more images and create a larger piece however this is how I plan the final outcome to be produced. Some triangles will be mounted, some will be on the board and some will be below still. I might try some blank triangles also in some of the gaps too. I think that maybe I could create a gradient where one side is higher up and by the other end of the image all the triangles are lower down or it will just be a random arrangement.
