Process Log

1. 1. Pick two texts that are visually similar or visually interesting from your point of view

1. 2. Prepare two one-page-pdf to print on transparent paper (provided); size A4.

1. 3. if you want to decide the precise position of the overlapping of the two texts, open them in Photoshop and create two layers; change opacity; move them as you want; you need to horizontally flip JUST ONE of the two texts; then export them as separate files.

1. 4. Send the two files to the printer.

1. 5. Put the flipped print on the top of the non-flipped one; you can stick them together, put them on a window to see through; colour parts that you find interesting; react to your overlapped text: what can you see?
