For this image, I was trying to create a version of one of the most iconic album sleeves of the 20th Century - "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band" The Grammy Award-winning album packaging was created by art director Robert Fraser, mostly in collaboration with McCartney, designed by Peter Blake, his wife Jane Haworth, and photographed by Michael Cooper. It featured a colourful collage of life-sized cardboard models of famous people on the front of the album cover and lyrics printed on the back cover.
At the time, this was quite controversial due to the individuals who they chose to feature in the picture.
I found an original dark room print of the entire royal family at the Queen's coronation and noticing that some of the people shown on the photograph were not looking at the camera but glancing in various sideways directions, I had the idea of placing different people into the photograph so it might appear that the people glancing sideways were actually noticing these people who should not be there. The people I chose to add to the photograph were all iconic figures from British history - for instance, Winston Churchill making the "Victory V" sign, Neville Chamberlain waving his paper resolution to commit to peaceful methods signed by both Hitler and himself on his return from MunichMargaret Thatcher in her "Iron Lady" guise. As well as iconic political figures such as these, I also included John Lennon, Ringo Starr and Kate Moss from the world of show business.

Production Stages - Scan in image at 2500 and a half DPI which created a 1.5 GB Tiff file
2 Stage 2 - Gather images from the internet and scan these in
Stage 3 - Increase the pixel size of found images to create better resolution for the overall image
Using the Pentel, copy around the images
Stage 4 - paste new images onto the main background, making sure that changing the scale of the actual person matches the background
Step 5 - Some of the images I found that I wanted to use were in colour so i had to change these into black and white.
Step 6 - I had to change the sharpness using gorge and blur to match the background image so the added images did not appear too sharp and obviously superimposed.
Step 7 -As you can see from the screen grab, I had to change the selective colours

Evaluation -
I am very happy with the overall outcome of the photograph I created, but matching the monochrome tones to the background was extremely difficult and did not always work as well as I had hoped.
