I have always really liked these images of Picasso's, i like the use of line and blocks of colour that distort the image. I thought it would be interesting to work into a photograph in this way by adding blocks of colours and lines to distort the original image.

Here i was just messing around taking things away and adding things to images. i used the blur tool to get rid of the facial features and just drew over them using the brush tool.

Here i moved away from what i had been doing and decided to experiment with something new. I made a mask out of a box and photographed a friend wearing it, i then crated a new layer on photoshop and used the brush tool to paint over the image, i then removed the original image layer from underneath so i was left with a cartoon like image that i had created by using the original image as a template.

In the style of Warhol...

I really liked some images i found my Andy Warhol, i think they link to the collage approach i had been looking in to. I also like the layering, and mixed media effect and so i decided to create some of my own using some well known faces....
I really liek adding things and taking things away from images, and manipulating them in that way.

Here i have been experimenting with layering images. I began with a found image of a city scape, i cloned parts to create a busier images for example i cloned the tall tower a few times to add more depth etc to the image.
I then layered images i had taken of graffiti in a warehouse i found. I think the graffiti layered emphasizes the urban city feeling, I changed the opacity, curves and shadows and highlights in order for the graffiti to show through in random areas.

vault 49

"The work of Vault49 carves a unique space for itself. Vault49 maintains that it is no longer possible to refer to graphic design as being so disconnected from the art world. Graphic design is growing and evolving to encompass many different approaches, techniques and genres, including much of the territory that was the exclusive reserve of the artist, such as selfcommissioned and self-published work like The Greatest Show On Earth." -http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.theaoi.com/news/newspics/vault49.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.theaoi.com/Mambo/index.php%3Foption%3Dcontent%26task%3Dview%26id%3D597%26Itemid%3D28&h=387&w=461&sz=69&hl=en&start=3&um=1&tbnid=mzQNGyLT1sFjPM:&tbnh=107&tbnw=128&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dvault%2B49%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG














I really like these images and how they’re almost fantasy like. I think they would make good advertisements for make up etc. And so my idea was to create images that could possibly used in advertising,
