Computer Graphics for Beginners

I found this brief very uninspiring. i wanted to just do a cute illustration of a baby finger painting all over a computer screen but eventually I cam up with this, If its not obvious its supposed to show a digital paint by numbers on a computer screen of the 'Creation of Man' from the sistine chapel by Michelangelo. Not my best work but at least the painting looks pretty cool all pixelized.

Disgracing The Old Masters.

These are all work from last year about commercialization and materialism using iconic classical art and placing them into a modern advertising format. I was playing around with a claustrophobic overcrowded composition in most of them, trying to be over the top and gaudy in the style of the photographer, some are using real brand names and some are invented for the sake of the piece and I also was exploring the idea of subliminal advertising and also overt product placement so I put lots of other brandnames within an ad where they are relevant yet secondary and sort of out place. I know the idea of revisiting the old masters and using such cliche'd imagery as the 'Mona Lisa' and 'American Gothic' may just seem unoriginal and immature but I lack the cliche factor for its currency and immediacy.

Visual Rhetoric

Poster for the imagined "re-release" of the novel Taking Lives
poster design for the "re-release" of the novel 'Taking Lives'
visual rhetoric: the use of imagery to suggest/imply an underlying meaning/message. Similar to that of a metaphor.
