Digital Print

I have been experimenting with my motifs and colour palette in photoshop. I have tried to keep with the idea of the digital montage and the defacing theme. I think the colours work well. The brightness of the orange against the deep greens. I like the contrast of the colours so I am going to try and carry that throughout the rest of my work.

Final Colour Palette

After hours of stress and frustration I finally found a colour palette I liked and one that worked well with my motifs. The combination of the dark greens and red together work well to create a rich and vibrant palette. 

Defacing Ideas and graffiti

A few experimental drawings using graffiti and the idea of defacing on top of my original drawings. I wanted to add a splash of colour  to bring them to life.

Prabal Gurung Designer T-shirts

Prabal Gurung alongside creating collections for fashion week has produced a range of high end designer t-shirts, Some of which have the prints from his catwalk collections. I aim to create a range of t-shirts with the same idea. Maintaining the quality and trends of the catwalk.

Collaboration

In 2010 Burton Machen collaborated with obey, his defaced images were placed on a range of Tshirts, it is interesting to see how his images transferred to fabric and translated onto something wearable. The images speak for themselves so the simplistic placing of them work well .

Urban Evolution 
Portraits Project

Burton Machen took a series of photographs of famous and political people and placed them on the streets of New York and saw how they would evolve over time by factors such as graffiti and weathering. I am going to deface some of my images and drawings , Burton Machen project Urban evolution was good to look at as it was interesting what graffiti ideas people came up with that I could use to feed into my own work.

Work Experiance

For the past week I have been working on the set of Casualty in the costume and wardrobe department. I worked from 8-7 everyday organising the stock for each character but also shadowing the costume designer who was working on a 6 week block. I was there to learn about their job and what they did. I helped out with costume continuity making sure the character looked exactly the same in each shot. I learnt about how they went out and bought for each cast member. I also got to help out in the special effects and prosthetics department. This was a very creative area of the bbc studio. The costume designers were freelance only working on this block for 6 weeks. It was good to see what the job entailed and to gain experience in tv so if in future I knew what I was letting myself in for if I pursued this career path.
