Using quotes

In this is picked four either movie quotes or just quotes in general said by people which inspire, the four quotes used were:

Scarface - "say hello it my little friend"
Breaking bads Heisenberg - "am not in danger, I am the danger"
Bruce Lee - "I don't fear the man who has practiced 1000 kicks once, I fear the man who's practiced one kick a 1000 times"
Pulp fictions Juels Winnfield - "you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee"

I used these quotes with black and white cutout drawings of each individual person who says each quote with he use if sharpe and fineliner I then wet washed the ink to create a smudge effect around the drawings and over the text.

Mood board

This is a mood board I created to increase the amount of ideas I can gather to improve on my final piece. The board mostly consists of many different text styles with some incorporating images as a background or as the center of the design which the artist has then worked around, I will use this mood board as a guide for when it comes to creating either my final pieces design and usage of text or using an image as the main focus of whole piece.

7 Deadly Sins - Light Zone

7 Deadly Sins

through out this project I've used a large variety of graphic techniques on paper but haven't used any different graphical programs apart from Photoshop until we started to use an application called Light zone which is a programme where you can manipulate a photo by changing the photos zone mapping which increases how much the shadows effect the overall image to then sharpening the surrounding image to make it stand out from the backgrounds shadows.
the images below are the original images that I hadn't yet manipulated in light zone

 
 

the images below are the actual manipulations I did to the original images above.

 
 
 

7 Deadly Sins - City Representation

7 Deadly sins
In this piece I used the same concept I used for the animal representation of the 7 deadly sins, but in this piece instead of animals I used major Cities from around the world which are associated with each sin:
  • China for Wrath- They have the world largest army
  • Mexico for Gluttony- As figures collected say that Mexico is the most obese country in south 
  • Saudi Arabia for Greed- As they have the majority of the world Oil
  • Russia for Envy- They are trying to become worlds only superpower
  • France for Lust- Paris is known as the city of love
  • Greece for Sloth- Greece has been shown to be one of the laziest country's in Europe
  • America for Pride- American people are very patriotic and proud of there country




7 Deadly Sins - Animal Representation



7 Deadly Sins Representation

In this piece I took certain images of animals which I think represent each deadly sin perfectly:


  • Lion for Pride
  • Bear for Wrath
  • Pig for Gluttony
  • Peacock for Lust
  • Sloth for Sloth
  • Snake for Envy
  • Racoon for Greed

I think these animals all represent each sin very well, due to them all being associated with many different titles weather its them being labelled as dangerous or being lazy it shows that the sins don't just apply to humans but also apply to the way in which each animal behaves.#


7 Deadly Sins - Photo Manipulation

7 deadly sins

these final pieces are all done on Photoshop and all represent a sin from the sins given, I took 3 of the sins and when out and took pictures which I thought representing each sin either fully or partly, the sins I mainly focused on where Gluttony, Greed, Pride and Wrath I represented these with many different images  as with wrath I used boxing, which through out my development of the actual piece I changed what the final look would be developing my idea further I used this as reference, along with the McDonalds sign for gluttony.
