My Choice for Project 3


Whistler’s Mother

My artist is James Whistler... But I haven't decided between the top image and the lower one.
I like that he uses textures in his paintings and I think that is something I can really play with in photoshop.
I was thinking I could have some fun with both. Whistler's Mother I was thinking of a modern design - updating to current times and setting.

The White Girl 
I may put myself in her place and make it a bit dark- Holding a bloody knife and the rug being freshly skinned... I think Halloween has been influencing me there. ;)
I'll draw out a few ideas and take a few photos to solidify the choice this weekend.


Symphony in White no 1 (The White Girl)

"Steel Pulse" ArtD 150 - Sketches for Music Poster


My band is Steel Pulse. I drew out a few sketches and talked it over with a few people in class (Keith, Neil, etc). I was leaning toward the Victims image where I have graphic images of bodies layered and in various sizes. I was also interested in the Reggae Fever image since I thought it would be a fun colorful one... but I think the Victims design will be stronger. I'm going to have the main figure with a punch of color... and the word will have the Steel Pulse words positioned like a trademark symbol. I'm going to play around with the idea a bit more once I start moving it around in Illustrator.
