Arthur Mount II

 This is another Arthur Mount illustration, I really like this image and had to do another post about it. Im going to try something like this as well. He would have made this the same way as his other images, but made some of the woman's clothing the same colour as the background, making it blend in and give the strange effect that she is wearing her surroundings. 

Arthur Mount

This is an Arthur Mount image, I think that a lot of his images will have been real photographs, with the outlines traced and scanned into a computer, then filled with colour on a programme like photoshop. I like how these images turn out and Im going to try that myself again, only using thinner lines than a felt tip pen than last time.

I think the same has been done with this one, this is my favourite of the two images.

Ekhornfoss – Kjell Ekhorn and Jon Forss

This Ekhornforss image will have been hand drawn and digitally manipulated. I think that the image of the car on the road would have been taken using a digital camera, and perhaps the image of the house interior would have been traced, or drawn over, then scanned in to a computer. The walls and floor will then have been removed and edited to look different, bringing the outside into the interior part of the image.

This would have been an original image, manipulated digitally. The walls and other things in the image may have either been drawn around on the computer, or hand drawn around and scanned in, then block filled digitally, to give the image a cartoon like feel.

This final image will be many images. The buildings in the foreground will be several images, layered over each other, drawn around, scanned in and filled with colour to make it look cartoon - like. They then would have been layered onto the background image of the clouds.

Finley recreation

This is my recreation of Jeff Finleys concert advert, all of the images used in this ad are from the internet, none of my own photgraphs. Alltogether there are 2 different imagews, the background and the little girl with the umbrella. The image consists of 11 layers, and 5 colour changing layers such as 'brightness/contrast' and 'hue/saturation'. I used the background layer of the hills, then used content aware fill tool to add nearly all of the sky, from the girls foot upwards. Then the scond layer was the girl holding the umbrella, which I cut out from another image, then I added an old film layer and changed the blending mode to overlay, to give the desired effect, then next two layers were the blemishes on the image, the circles, which I added with a brush and changed the opacity. Then the other layers were for the text. I quite like the way this image has tuned out, I think that I recreated the feel of the original advert well and used alot of my photoshop skills to produce this.  

These are the two original images that I used for the final image. I flipped both images, I think that it is hard to tell that the final image is composited from these two images.

Jeff Finley

Jeff Finley has been designing since 2004 and has now started to design for a lot of punk rock bands and indie clothing brands. He also is an award winning t-shirt designer and has written an e-book on the t-shirt designing industry. I like the indie genre of these manipulated images and how simple the images are, I would like to try and recreate an advertisement like this possibly as a final as out the artists I have researched so far, Jeff Finley's work is the most appealing to me.

Advert

I saw an image similar to this on a leaflet on my way out from the self service checkouts in Tesco after buying a roasted hog sandwich. I thought I would try and recreate the photo becasue I quite liked it, After making the headphone into the wheels of the car, I deceded to make it into an advert for free iPods with the car. T made the image using the two original images above the finished thing and printscreened the writing from DaFont, as you are not allwoed to download fonts on the college computers. I quite like his final image!

Grunge

I made this on Photoshop using a set of grunge brushes, and a set of gory brushes for the blood splatters, and another set of brushes for the hand. This is the last image like this I am going to make for this project, Im not going to focus on artist resarch and find the kind of image I want to make for my final image.
