Outline

This is another method I have though of using for my final outcomes.
I think this is a good method although I'm not sure it will work well with the other Posters.



IKON

Susan Collis - Since I fell for you

Shuruq Harb - Book of signatures

Ron Terada - Who I think I am

On the visit to the Ikon gallery I viewed several exhibits..
Each one amazed me as at first glance I wasn't exactly impressed; after talking to the staff about the exhibits i found there was a deeper meaning behind each concept.

The first exhibit by Susan Collis I personally thought was ridicules until I was told to give each piece a closer look. What seemed to be paint splatter or markings where actually embroidery or gems; the detail and the elusion was really good.

The Second exhibit by Ron Terada emidiatly let me down as I thought there where just a series of canvas with text on. Then a member of staff explained that the text on the canvas was an extract from Goldsteins book who was Teradas inspiration and that he is a real person with problems.

The third exhibit was by Shuruq Harb I was informed by staff about the meaning behind this piece so I went in with an open mind but I personally would not call it art but more of a document piece. The reason for this is Harb collected signatures of people with the name mohammed to show the individuality of humans; but nothing was created by Harb just signatures where bound in a book and projected.

Mitchy Bwoy

I personally liked this exhibit, i liked the use of contours with a spray paint effect along with it. I didn't like the vector images in the background as much but I am a fan of the type work as it is all connected but still quiet legible.

Outcomes






This is an attempt at creating a male sibling. I tried using colour , grey scale and black white to see which looks best.

Type



This is an attempt on an abstract type poster using new alphabet and over laping words such as 'Siblings' and 'genes'. I have also used a picture taken of my skin as the background.

Acetate Posters




These to images are of what the final outcome of Printing images onto acetate should look like when stuck together. They will then be hung one infront of the other making an a bract image as the acetate is transparent where there is no tap or black marks.

Moi




This image was inspired by both Lindsey Nolin and David Hockney. I have used an image of myself and created something slightly abstract.
