This image, from the second week of the project was one of the collages I created which developed from my orginal drawings. The collage worked as far as I'm concerned and the only thing I might change with the piece is the background colour red, I think it might be just a bit too bright and colourful.
The aim of this piece was to recreate an image from my sketchbook using a variety of materials such as pen, shoes polish and ink via stencil. Following an Andy Warhol style I was pleased with the turn out especially the shoe polish as it had the control with the stencil and the sort of messyness of the polish when mixed.
I like the idea behind the piece as its two chaps obviously talking about the news shown by the newspaper. What I would like to change about the piece is the colour of the background as I think if it was a darker colour, the newspaper might stand out more.
Focusing on trying to encorporate text into the piece I basically just tried to include letters in this piece. Using the cut outs as stencils and attempting to use a Lucinda Rogers style outline I liked the end result.
Using monoprint to achieve a sort of simple and messy line I think it contrasts with the sharp bold letters which take up the majority of the page. At first I was uncertain as to what colour to put the letters in but eventually I chose white as Black and brown had already been used and I didn't want to bring in a like colourful colour like red or green.
I spent quite a lot of time on this piece more than the others and I was basically trying to show a lot of layers in the piece putting things on top and under and having see-through materials included within it.
