Definitions
>
 * Landscapes- A portrait of nature from a far away vantage point taking in the overall view of an area
 * Cityscapes- A portrait of the city including buildings, streets, lights, and people in the city although they aren't the main focus, displays the architecture of the buildings
 * Interiorscapes- A room or part of a room that illustrates the lighting, shadows, objects, furniture, and architectural details of that room
 * Mindscapes- Dealing with more abstract ideas that you portray through imagery
 * Urbanscapes- Using subways and other parts of the urban landscape (trash, street signs, etc) to illustrate your idea
 * Substrates- The surface that an artist makes a print onto. This could be paper, metal, wood, cloth or any other surface that accepts a print (digital, photographic, artist print).
 * Digital Substrates- This implies that you've created your own substrate to print onto, usually be collaging/layering items like ripped paper, newspaper, old art, fabric, cheesecloth etc. to make a printable surface that can fit through the printer.
 * Grounds- After making a digital substrate you might then coat it with a Digital Ground. A digital ground is a substance that seals the surface of the substrate and makes it more likely to allow ink to adhere to it and print clearly. Digital grounds can be transparent or opaque, glittery, glossy, matte etc. You could also apply a digital ground to a substrate that you didn't make such as a piece of fabric. By applying the ground you've made the fabric more likely to feed through the printer and have ink adhere to it. You may have to attach the fabric to a feed sheet. Butcher paper, wax paper or inexpensive overhead transparencies can all be used as feeder sheets.
 * Image Transfer-Often image transfers are used as a form of altered art. Usually a transfer is done because you want to put an image onto a surface that won't fit through a printer. So for example, perhaps you want to print onto a piece of wood. You could print onto paper and then use an image transfer technique to transfer the image onto the wood. There are many types of techniques including polaroid transfers, where the emulsion of the polaroid is lifted off in water and then reapplied to another surface. Acrylic Gel medium transfers utilize the gel medium to create a new emulsion that the print emulsion is embedded into. You can also do inkjet wet transfers where an inkjet print is transferred to a moist surface and run through a printing press or in a pinch rolled over with a roller to create a print. In most image transfer processes the image you are trying to transfer gets reversed in the process. You can use Adobe Photoshop to create a flipped image to help resolve this. Go to Image...rotate canvas....flip horizontal. This will flip the image so that when it is transferred it is facing the correct original direction.
 * Altered Art- This implies that an already existing piece of artwork has been used as a starting point and through many changes and add-ons a new artist appropriates the work and changes it to make it into their own work of art.
 * Digital Printing Process- This implies that the artist has gone beyond just taking a photograph, editing it in Photoshop and then printing it out on paper there has been some sort of manipulation along the way, which could include, making a substrate to print onto, printing onto something other than photo paper (organza, cotton, silk). This also implies that the artist may have done something to the final print such as drawing or painting on it.
