Fauve
A photo of a tiger, and an exhibition poster at the end, without leaving Mote. The tiger keeps its photo under a sine screen; the background comes from nothing, clouds, contour lines and two riso passes; then the title, which the tiger bursts through.

The photo
A roaring tiger, lying on its rock among the palms. We are going to make a poster of it.

A sine screen
Him first. A single Prisma effect: a sine screen, dots rippling across the whole picture.

Melted into the fur
Size 2, angle 0, hardness 9.5, a brown ink in colour dodge at 80 %: the screen sinks into the fur, the tiger keeps its colours.

A background from nothing
The tiger is cut out with the lasso, roughly, on its own layer. Underneath, a background from no photo at all: clouds.
- State 05 / 09
Contour lines
Contour lines in multiply, for detail: the clouds turn into a map.
- State 06 / 09
Two riso passes
A risograph, then the same one duplicated, barely offset: the grain and slight misregistration of a real print.
- State 07 / 09
The inks
Both risographs switch to orange and yellow on cream paper.
- State 08 / 09
A light
A light leak brightens the top in a gradient, where the title will go.

Fauve
The title, very large, slipped under the tiger, then the small print. A poster, without leaving Mote.
