Edinburgh project - slide 8

and last but not least - the final slide!...


edited using photoshop, collaborating the intial photograph of the building I had taken, and inserting the self made light graffiti experiment i made.


Looks good if i dont say so myself!


REALLY PLEASED!

Edinburgh project - slide 7

2nd last slide , represents legal wall graffiti imagery



these can be seen on large area's of fencing and/or walls around the city.


Final slide to go!

Edinburgh project - slide 6

Imitating the Mural type of graffiti art around Edinburgh,


Roseburn mural , was created by children of the surrounding area, to bring back together the community and give them something to be proud of.

Edinburgh project - slide 5

Imitation of legal wall graffiti,


slowly we should start too see a bit of a difference within the graffiti , this being a theme of more community friendly, and more thought out designs of work.

Edinburgh Project - slide 4

Representation of stencil graffiti art ,


not the best as i am using the same media for every single slide.


A future project into making stencils and spray painting is on my to do list!

Edinburgh project - Slide 3

Slide 3 is to represent vandal graffiti imagery,


notice I am maintaining the same building shape throughout, I created a building stencil to be repeated.


Each drawing will be photographed in the best light possible, depending on how bright they are naturally I may slightly enhance the brightness on photoshop for maximum colour for greater projection results.

Edinburgh project - Slide 2

Slide number 2,


this slide represents all the gangland graffiti and territory aspect of the city.

Basicly the first 4 slides are to represent the vandal side of things.


AGAIN - more slides to come soon! =]

Edinburgh Project - Slide 1

The first of my set of 8 slides i will be putting together for projection images for my project.


The first slide represents typical youth graffiti within communities, name tagging and usual general dislike of their home town.


This was created using coloured pencils and fine line ink pen.


Rest of the series will be posted when done!

Analysis of network maps - 300 words

Linking to the previous post of my life map, we were to link up any similarities between our own maps against our classmates maps -

I felt that looking at others peoples futures, certain people seemed to know exactly what it is they want to do after they finish their degree, where on the other hand me and a few others are still a bit up in the air about what they want as a career but we all share the same hope of gaining a good grade from our degree. There was a mixture of outlooks such as working and teaching abroad, as well as doing charity work and being a self employed freelance artist.
Looking at my past and previous experience, I have quite a variety of different skills I had put into practice, from photography and graphics, to textiles; sewing and embroidery, fashion illustration, to working in mixed media and painting, printmaking and 3D sculpture workshops. With all these in mind , there were/are certain workshops I prefered more than others, I enjoyed them more and wanted to try more, these being photography, illustration and a bit of textiles. Similarly a lot of people in the group like to try new materials and mix and match what they want to use, trying to gain more skills, and broaden the horizon.
Some other people in the class have had a bit more experience with doing projects outside of college , for example Karen working on a community mural, and Scott holding his own gallery spaces and selling work also creating his own website display recent works, creating my own personal website and beginning to sell my work is something I really need to start doing and begin to advertise myself and get my name out there. I would probably like to be self employed in the future, working from commissions, and selling personal work. even doing a bit of photography on the side.


Heres hoping it all goes to plan!

paper relief experiments for projection

Starting with just a plain sheet of sugar paper, i outlined the building shape I wanted to use....

I then went on to carefully cut away small sections of the building creating small details , to make it look less solid and more appealing to the eye....








Another layer was then cut out, and placed on top of the other one to create depth when fixed to the wall...

The projector was matched up against the size of the paper, by simply moving the projector forward or backwards to make the image bigger or smaller.....


More experiments using card were made, using layering techniques and paper cutting....













Beginning to establish a curved design, fixed to the wall would look more exciting and would possibly hide all internal mess by fully covering the sides unlike the previous experiment....



MORE TOO COME! =]
