Diptych and Triptych

Diptych & Triptych

I have done a bit of research on Diptych and Triptych and it shows that they came from the Greek, Two (dip) Three (trip) and Fold (tych) I found this out from (http://photography.tutsplus.com/tutorials/diptychs-and-triptychs-playing-with-photo-stories-and-unexpected-combinations--cms-23499 )

Diptych and Triptych came persificatly from art, which was divided into sections but has became something that is used a lot now in the art world, especially photography. Diptych and Triptych would be great to use for a series of images that you may of taken so they are all from the same environment and about the same thing to show a story, as obvious as it may sound, Diptych is designed for two photographs or other art forms and Triptych is for three pieces of work.

First step of creating a Diptych/Triptych is opening up Photoshop, going to file & new.

This document will come up and where it says ‘Document type’ click on international paper and change the size to A4 and press ok.

I then opened up two photos that I wanted to use on Photoshop and then cropped it down to the size I wanted.
