Final Images

For my Final images i had decided to focus on still life. I have all my images on a USB. But these are the Unedited and edited final images.

 As i said in my previous blog post, i became very interested in using the theme of still life. I like it because it gives an insight into how i, and other people, see objects.

Alison watt

I wanted to reference Alison Watt, as my images reminded me of her work I had looked at in my painting unit. I think its better to look at other inspirations outside photography and photographers when taking images. 

If you want to design a kettle, don't look at other kettles...



 I think her work is a good example of how people see things differently. I have always thought her work feels very feminine. I can see a resembelence to a vagina.  


I also came across a photographer called Vilde Rolfsen. He uses lights to photograph plastic bags, making them appear like abstracted landscapes.




I have always been interested in the beauty of things considered rubbish or unattractive. I can always see so much more in an object than i feel other people do, and i am sure they see more in an object than i do. Trying to capture that through photography is something that i find very difficult at times, but interesting.

I started looking at objects and trying to capture the beauty i saw in them. I eventually ended up taking images of bags as i was interested in how the camera can pick up the textures of the bag and i found it worked really well when placed them on a light box.





















I then took these images and for my final 10 i decided to lay them over each other to try and create something that the viewer might not initially see as a bag but see abstracted forms and colours that would appear attractive but is actually just a bag that would be thrown away. 























I am happy with my final images and i think they work with the theme of the unit.

I just enjoyed taking these images, i enjoy photography and i think i find it so easy to get bogged down and stressed out that i forget sometimes to find the joy in what i do and forget that making art is what makes me most happy.

Alice Potter

. Digital Media . Illustration . Surface Pattern . Alice Potter   I decided to start my research with Alice Potter. I was interested in Alice Potter's work because it is very different to what i usually look at.  Potter is a London based freelance illustrator and children's wear print designer. Design is something i am not sure i have an eye for, i do appreciate it but i don't tend to find myself attracted to it, or give it as much thought as i probably should. http://alicepotter.co.uk https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/AlicePotter I love the colours in this one above, i like how simple it is, but it still translates as an apple. I like the dot print i think it adds a kind of sweetness to the design as well as add something to the flatness of it. I really like these, i love how happy they look because of the use of colour.  Potter draws her work out in her sketch book and then moves onto illustrator where she uses the pen ...

Photography : Rommert Boonstra & Laurie Simmons

For photography i wanted to look at artists who use models or staged worlds for their photography because its not something i looked into previous years. From moodel i came across Rommert Boonstra. He is a photographer, poet and theater director. He also taught photography at several art academies.He is well known for his Staged photography and he has Four books are published about his photo works. He uses everyday objects to create these worlds... I am pretty taken aback with these photographs and i am surprised there is not a lot about these images online. The only words i can find to describe them is other worldly. They look like completely different words, like something you would find in science fiction comic. They are just amazing. What i liked about these is the way he has used light and shadows to create the illusion of above and below, in the first 2. He has also used composition and perspective to make you feel like you are inside the world its self. I like...

Typography Investagation.

We have started a new unit, typeface and letterforms. I found this very daunting, because, it is a completely new, huge world to me that i have never explored... We watched a film about Helvetica and it was very interesting but like i said i feel really overwhelmed. I wanted to know what happened before more in depth and really look into it as best i could. I decided to calm my nerves by looking into the history of type face, and to, i guess start at the beginning... for myself. while researching i found out that a lot of people agree that the creator of typography was a German man named Johannes Gutenberg. But before he came along books needed to be scribed, by hand. Obviously this was very time consuming, So Guttenberg created Blackletter. I think this was modeled after the scribe's. It has thick vertical lines, and thin horizontal connectors. This was hard for printing, as it looked very dense and squished together. So then came Roman Type, the first roman type was cr...
