This week, I've resorted back to working on Photoshop and experimenting with completely filling in areas with opaque blocks of colour. Initially this wasn't very successful, as the images looked a little bit immature and it was obvious what I had done to them, however as I developed my ideas, the photos became more abstract and I was able to do what I had envisaged from the start - fully remove the subject.
I like the busyness that is within the image below. The overlapping of the colours was my way of incorporating Warhol's print process into my work, and I think this was successful. Im unsure at the moment if it is a concept which I will continue further though, as I don't know if it will translate well into a woven fabric.
On the contrary, I like the more simplistic style that this piece portrays, as well as the clean lines and geometric shapes. I think there are some really unusual patterns within the image which I would like to further develop into repeated designs. At the moment, I'm undecided on my colour palette; I've created so many pieces on photoshop using so many different colours, that it is hard to choose. I've learned that although some colours work well with a complete piece, once you've painted them out into a stripe, they're not as complimentary. I am certain that I want to create a collection of designs using very vibrant and bright colours; this is not only to keep an aspect of Andy Warhol within my project, but also to portray the complete antithesis of where the images have originally come from. I want it to show the audience the comparison between the boring postcards and the final design.
