Right before i get started id like to type im very sorry for not posting anything for decades, ive been in the proscess of moving and everything is all over the place. However the good news is its been the holidays! this means ive had lots of times to get on with some new projects. So im gona jump straight into it.
Edertorial illustration
Right so for the people who dont know edertorial illustration is the illustrations you see in the "tabloids" thats newspapers to you and me, and i was set a project to come up with two fianl pieces for any article i found, however these had to be done in two differnt mediums.
The first piece was all about the "mass graves of srebrencia". And the title read "mass graves of srbrenica finally reveal their fragmented secrets". This is what i came up with. The piece itself was mainly created using photoshop but the skull itself had to be hand drawn. The key words that i grabbed from the title helped me alot as we commonly ossosiate words with images i decided it was a good idea to go along that route, such as, "graves" this word made me think of death this is where the skull came from, then "fragmented" this made me think of a jigsaw piece thus i started building up the image using the words and "hey presto!" i came up with this.
There where other atempts also, because the article went on to talk about how they were going to identify the bodies through "electrophoriesis" i started to think of ways to incorperate this into my work. This is what i came up with.
As you can see ive enfisised the coulors to make the piece alot more striking and also the "wells" are blood red to add to the terror. The one thing to watch out for when working on this article was to rember that this is a real event and real people were involved in this so i must keep profesional at all times and rember my audiance.
Article 2
Now the heading for this article was "Talking cars could reduce motorway pile-ups". Most people would slap a human mouth on a car and that would be the end of it. However i though why not do it the other way around, i mean it was all there in the article "human like facial features" "the abblilty to know the road ahead" these qoutes are all in the article and this is to just name a few. It was like they had already given me the answer. But and it was a big but i had to do this peice in a differnt medium so i went straight back to my roots, this piece has collarge, paint, ink, and even a bit of photoshop just to make sure. This peice is called "Motor mouth"
The only thing is due to me moving il have to transfer universitys so i wont be at birmingham anymore instead il be transfering to Northampton and all this work will now be irrelivent, however itl all be going into my protfolio.
Well i dont know exactly when il be posting anything else up but i know it will deffinatly be when ive moved to northampton, so until then if anyone does actualy read this thing. chow.
Yes im all moved in to my new place with my fianc'e Em pictures are below, but theres more! As of now i will be starting work on a new piece while im waiting for the uni term to start here at northampton. Its going to be in the style of banksy and before you all scurry to facebook its not going to be one of his peices just adapted to my style it is going to be worth a look at, but enough of that and enjoy the pictures of my new place.
