Here is a photo I have edited from google. I have live traced using eleven colours in Adobe Illustrator and then used the wand to delete appropriate areas around the fish in Adobe Photoshop. I will be able to use this is a Kurt Schwitters inspired collage.

Here is a simple trace of the fish using the same techniques as before yet not editing anything of the threshold or anything else and using the original setting for it.

Here are the two versions of a kurt Schwitters inspired piece of cad work. The second one is the one I printed off for a final version as I believe the reef at the bottom helps create depth to the picture on a whole. I have used a previously scanned in background of yellow paper as a background along with some photographs i took on the college trip to cardiff in December in the National Museum. I used different types of tracing techniques to get the effects of this picture from just tracing in black and white to full colour. I think the pros of this picture are the effects it gives of depth and texture and the cons are of that the hermit crabs just look as if they dont belong there (top left corner).
