Inspiration

'This is Marc Quinn’s most famous piece of work, Self, made using 4.5 litres of his own blood, which was slowly extracted from his body over a period of five months and frozen in a cast of his face. Quinn has been making these roughly every five years since 1991, and each one must be maintained carefully in fridges. The fragility of the media means exhibiting is difficult - the head has to be placed into a glass case which is chilled from underneath. It reminds the audience of the fragility of existence and the precise conditions necessary for the flourishing of life.'

I think this is really wierd and unusual but i love the idea and the concept of what he has done. For me this isnt inspiration but i think it is very interesting and to be honest it really shocked me- I have never seen anything like this.

Inspiration

I chose this image as inspiration because i think it looks pretty. i love the pastel colours and how they are all together and i like how none of them are cut off the image.

Inspiration

I chose this picture as inspiration because i think it looks really beautiful and the colours look amazing. I think it is a church window and i like these because they tell a story (i don't know what this story is).

Font

I chose the font 'chiller'.

I chose this because it looks quite scary and i like how the letters have different thinknesses because i think it makes the font interesting and unusual. It looks really reckless and not looked after. It was created in 1995 by a guy called Andrew Smith. It is a decorative font.

First Photoshop

For this piece of work i decided to use florence and the machine (band) as my inspiration purely because i live her music and i think she is an amazing person. i edited the background so it was just her and then moved her onto this background i got from google by typing in 'vintage floral backgrounds' as i thought it would match the picture very well. Then after i had done this i merge the two images together and copied it and with the second layer i moved it ever so slightly and edited the effect so it was faded and i really like this effect so i will probably use it in the future. To make the piece more interesting i decided to add her logo and a few small images she sometimes uses on her logo (the bird) but i got the bird cage from an image unrelated to florence. I had to use the 'magic wand' so that the space around the small images and logo were not white and the i merged everything together so my image was complete.

I chose the picture purely because i think it would look really cool on a t-shirt. I'm not quite sure where it is from but it looks like a drawing. I like it because of the black and white effect and the night time effect. I don't think it would have stood out to me as much if it was a daytime theme but thats because i prefer nightime.
