Modern City Print

Screen Print

Modern City: Here is a photo screen print I did during a visual communication project based on 'the city'. I focused on looking eat buildings as abstract forms which can be seen in the image but I also used the print of the man over the top. The background texture was created by rolling an ink roller over the top of a table. The moons at the top were cut stencil prints which culminated in a a strong print which features various print techniques.

Screen Print

Here are some experimental photo screen prints I did from the original imagery I created from my own photos. Each of the backgrounds where created in a different way the first through pushing ink through a stencil on a screen, the second created from a basic stencil and the third by taking textures from a table using an ink roller. Each looked to express a different feeling regarding the city of Liverpool.

Digital Composition

Here is a digital piece I did by printing of a photoshop edited building onto acetate and then placing it through a scanner. As the scanner went over the image I moved it steadily so that the image was distorted when the scan had finished. It created a strong effect which I then once again put back into photoshop and played around with. It reverted away from the imagery that I had been creating which was very much linear and made up of strong lines.

Digital Composition

This was an initial digital piece I did using my own images as I liked to explore patterns and the forming of compositions through the use of buildings. I took buildings that were similar in appearance throughout converting them to abstract forms and playing around with the imagery. I kept on applying various process to the image to make a much rawer aesthetic as opposed to a clean cut one that I had previously been aiming for

What lies GIF: I created a gif during the what lies under the skin project in which I focused on a reinterpretation of the title focusing on online social media. I looked at the skin as the persons online profile and what being underneath the real person. Here I created a gif using one of my own images which inverts and also in the background an image I glitched by destroying its code and therefore giving it the shown effect.

Life Drawings

Here are some life drawings I did during my 'what lies under the skin?' project. I looked to capture the shape and form of the subject by using gestural marks to outline the shape and tone. This allowed me to develop an ideas regarding the human body for the rest of the project particularly when sketching my ideas for compositions out.

Experimental Screen Print

Screen Print

This screen print was one I did during the experiment stage of my foundation course. During this time we experimented with various process including screen printing. The image above is a screen print I created using cut stencils layering them over the top of each other. The drops of ink were created by forcing the stencil onto the print by hand.
