Experiments mixed media image making experiments

For my exhibition invite I came up with four ideas to start experimenting with. They were producing a stop frame animation, A photoshoot from the 1990s, designing clothes to be sold after an exhibition and lastly to produce a magazine cover.

Firstly I wanted to design a logo. My inspiration came from the acid house symbol of the smiley face, a round bright yellow circle with the black features over the top. To contrast the face with art I thought of a shape which related to art, a painting palette. I designed my final logo using photoshop.

 

This was the first physical experiment I did which was for the stop frame animation video. I spent at least half an hour practising each letter to make it perfect for my final design. I used led red and white lights against a black board as it looks striking and visual. I then spelt out each letter separately to be put on a animation using the computer. I have decided once I've started putting the video together to maybe try acid house music in the background as it relates to the theme of the 1990s and was extremely popular from that time.

 

 

'FASHION LOVES ART' in bold capital letters made out of cut out cardboard for the magazine page. The idea of splashing paint quickly onto the card, using fluorescent inks such as, greens, pink, blues and yellow. I sketched out a layout for my magazine page which included the photoshoot of the girl in the tie dye top I made, my logo I finished first and information of my exhibition. I might even put an invite on my page with tickets for the readers to come to my exhibition this summer.

 

 

By the end of this unit I want to have produced a stop frame animation video as shown on the second image showing the words 'Fashion Loves Art'. Then finally a magazine page inviting guests to the exhibition with images from the photoshoot with the girl modelling my tie dye tops which I made and information about the exhibition such as, dates, information about my exhibition but also not giving to much away as I want to intrigue the audience.
