Image & Text in Visual Arts Second Assignment

I am super pleased with this logo. Again starting from my main base of the mannequin head and using her in a different way, I wanted to create a graphic vector image. A logo, but not a simple black and white that you see all the time.

This was actually very difficult for me because I have never done anything like this before. Well I have tried but they always came out wrong and not what I really envisioned. I even posted this on my Instagram because I was so pleased with it.

I wanted to just have a simple white background because I was thinking of the accent color font I wanted to use example for the photo-manipulations. I played with the curves of the base mannequin to get rid of the texture and detail of the original image, so it was just white. Although you could not just simply erase it out because I wanted to keep some of the texture from the neck and hair.

I applied a cutout filter since it seems to be my favorite, followed by a brush tool, opacity low and a pink glow color. I used the better together font that I have used to showcase Bowdacious Designs.

I took note from the Bowdacious Nails flyers to keep it simple and not write so many things, I mainly do photo-manipulations so I picked a nice accent font.

Originally the photo was not tapered at the bottom, so I went with an edgy slanted line to draw an ending point of the design and now that I look at it, it is opposite the way the bow slants so it works out well for balance purposes.

I actually then put this photo on my phone and used the pixlr app that I use for my photos and I added this filter that made the pink in the original logo pop out from the simple black and white logo with the light pink tint I have added to it.

M3 CD booklet Part 2

My concept for my CD, consumed around the idea of Cocooning. Meaning everything around me is in fact me. Ether it is wrapping yourself in music/lyrics or just stuff in general. I wanted to keep the inner pages 2,7,3,6 simple so they did not come off as to busy. Within a CD booklet, the the lyrics are at some print you should still be able to read them. When it came to the subtle images throughout the booklet, I made images that fit the song and lyrics at hand. Example: Light On by Eric Balfour "There will be a light on the planet it for you." I decided to go with an image of planet to go hand and hand, while always using my color scheme which is a pink. Now when it comes to the Puppet by Alaska Thunderfuck, I decided to make the lyrics and the song title like they are held up like strings and made a creepy version of a puppet face that fades into the background. Pages 4 and 5, I wanted it to be a poster like image that you would be able to rip out and hang...

Second Collage Assignment "The Color Pink"

(Click to Enlarge) For this second collage, the color I chose was of course pink. I wanted to base it with neon colors after I made a light painting of the name Eric Balfour and it became my base for the rest of the contents and color tints to me collage. In this particular work, I wanted to express myself and what I am made up of. The first one was based around my favorite band in a whole and recycled band shirts, here I wanted to do a digital art. I used Adobe Photo-shop in creating this piece of work. Each image used was altered to the color pink as well as filters to enrich certain textures and words. I added a bow because I used to wear large bows a few years ago thus giving me my name Bowdacious. Which I use on as my Instagram username. Though instead of just picking a random bow, I went with one that had chevon texture that also goes along with the pink fur. I took an images of my fur boots and also fur cheetah cosmetic trunk. To describe what is all within thi...

Image & Text in Visual Art Third Assignment

I wanted to try my hand at another "flyer" per say. It is more to advertise my work. I think I kept it more on the simpler side this time. I kept the original font I use for Bowdacious, I added my logo saying, "I make the real, into real fake photo-manipulations." I tried not to use many fonts only two and I used the Instagram logo with my username underneath it so people know that is where they can go to look at my work. Followed by my name. For the girl I wanted to keep y mu signature look that I created within my first mixed media assignment with the artificial bratz eye and lips.
