Project Title 3 : "Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll"

These images are gig posters created to advertise Sonisphere 2012 a heavy metal festival at Knebworth Castle in England.The image below is targeted at an alternative audience (typically ravers) and was made entirely on Photoshop. For the second poster I was targeting a typical metaller customer for the festival and conducted a lot of research into relevant material. I focused on tattoos in particular, drew up a line drawing of the planned image, scanned it into the computer, coloured the image and added the typography.



A sketchbook sample for this project


Project Title 2 : A Conceptual Interpretation of "Alice in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll

This project required me to choose a 20th Century artist and use his/her work as inspiration for my own. My artist of choice was Lucian Freud and I looked carefully at his painting techniques and how he indicates the facial structure using the directions of his brush strokes. The image below is an interpretation of one of his prints. The digital image below the print was more photoshop work in which I used imagery from "Alice in Wonderland" to make relevant backgrounds for an artists book, using the wallpaper designs of William Morris to create a Victorian influence on my work. I used the print studio to create a raven silhouette and then scanned the image to create the work on the left.



Project 3 : Investigation into Still life (I chose to blend human activities into the drawings of toys I created, so that I was, in a way, creating life in a still image, but using inanimate objects).
Samples of my sketchbook work from this project, including some black and white photography (an experiment into developing photographs)
