After yesterdays hiccups in printing, I returned to uni today to print my images. Last night I spent some time manually tiling them, just so they were small enough and more manageable for the printer. I did this in Photoshop by just saving a grid of each layer in A4 sized squares. This also minimized the overall size of the files as the white space of each layer was discarded. There were 26 layers, and i ended up with 131 A4 jpeg images. This was much easier to print, although it still took some time to send them wirelessly to the printer and get them all printed out. It was a lot of paper, and took about an hour and a half to get it all printed properly.

I have been spending tonight cutting out the images and piecing them together, but this will probably take much longer than i anticipated. I have been using a ruler, a retractable paper knife, and a cork board to cut everything out (its actually an old science lab dissecting board. hardcore.) This equipment is making the process much quicker than if i was using scissors, however the sheer amount of paper to cut and past together is overwhelming. So i will be working on this tomorrow night also. Hopefully I can plan out a shot list or at least get a rough idea of what i need to include for the shoot also, as I want to know exactly what i need and what order would be most efficient.
