Looking at the overlooked final.

I was asked to choose 5 words that i feel describe Birmingham and then just to pick one and create a piece about it, using type but not just any type my own typeface. After using acrylic copolymer on a sheet of perspex and stenciling out my typeface i then wanted to somehow bring light and shadow into this project, so i chose the words "only at night" because i feel that Birmingham's dark side really comes out at night and also this gave me a chance to bring my "grungy" way of working into it. So i began to set up lights and suspended my perspex from some invisible thread to make my photos look even more interesting when i took them. After a bit of editing in photoshop to make it look like id taken the photos in a subway at night my final piece was ready.

The top photo i like especialy because i made sure that the camera caught every detail of the acrylic copolymer to give the photo a lot of texture, aand the bottom photo i blurred just slightly so the image looks rough and it gives the illusion it was taken at night even more.
