Cindy Sherman






These are a few pages from my first AS photography book, were we researched into Cindy Sherman, and then tried our own work in her style. We did this by dressing someone else up as a celebrity and taking studio photographs of them. I really enjoyed this as it got me into the studio, experimenting with lights and composition.

Manchester AS Photography





These four photographs are from a trip to Manchester with the Art Department at College, in my first year. As I was new to photography, I experimented, and tried to involve composition rules within my photographs. I took photographs around the outside of The Triangle and Piccadilly Gardens.

A2 Graphics Mock Ups




These three images are my first set of mock ups for my A2 Graphics Exam, the question is "Public Information Campaign" so after researching into various campaigns, I decided to do my exam peice on Sexual Abuse.

Graphic Transcriptions





These are a few of my transcriptions from my A2 Graphics exam artist research.
The first two transcriptions are based on artist Tom Eckersley. The tiger poster is a copy of his poster, and the zebra poster is his poster but altered, so I tried another striped animal to work in the same way.
The third transcription is a copy of E.McKnight Kauffer's Natural History museum poster, which took a lot of time of photoshop to produce, I feel that this peice of work is very good, and I could have done it by hand with using coloured papers and a compass to make the many circles.
The last transcription is based on a child abuse advert that I found, so I used a different childs object to create a similar poster, and thought it worked very well.

Graphics AS posters




These are the four posters I made for my Graphics AS final piece. The question was "Festivals", so I researched into this, and researched artist Jon Burgerman, and really loved his style of work, and used his style in my final piece. I added a Polaroid frame around each person on the poster to give the effect that it was a photograph taken, and that you can keep memories from the festival, in photograph form.
