Research

Oh dear, that word does not a friend make.

But anyhoo here is some research images:

I have no idea who made these pictures but since since I'm looking at using photoshop for my portrait i think these work nicely:




Each one of these has something different that has been done in photoshop:

picture 1: This picture involves two different source images one a portrait and the other a fur ball. These two images were then layered together and blurred together to create the image.

picture 2: This picture involves an original picture of a kid leaning into a well/pond this was then given grain and colour retouching in order to get the feel and the red water. The fairy on the side of the well/pond is drawn in.

picture 3: This picture involves the use of computer icons to compose the portrait instead of a base image. I believe this image was showing us that these are the programs that comprise his life.

picture 4: This picture comprises of an original image on the bottom layer and basically the person who created this has drawn over the image ignoring details and replacing the eyes, nose and mouth with cartoony looking versions.

first ideas

new ideas!

This first idea was being thrown around my head for the past day or so, then i decided before i forget it i'll scribble it out. As you can see below this picture involves me holding my laptop yet my head being trapped inside it. The notes to the side explain what i need to do to pull it off.

This picture is meant to represent the fact that i have had my laptop for so long i have been trapped by it not being able to escape from it.


Below is a second picture which i thought of while i was doodling the previous picture this picture depicts me struggling to not get sucked into my laptop also it has another aspect to that you cannot see my face cos i'm engrossed in what i'm doing.

Please leave comments as these will help me with my work. Thank you.
