Through the consultation in class, I realised that the design for the art pieces can be much detailed than the design for the tote bag. Originally I had thought that the art pieces need to be all clean, so I had only have them in clear designs. After discussing with Mimi about my quotes and designs, my designs are on the right track but they are not clear or too direct.

Maybe it is because I did not really look up on my artist reference, my style and all are jumbled everywhere. There really a lot of ways to interpret and present my words. I could show them using visual metaphor,  visual vocabulary, contradictions in the imagery can also make it more obvious when trying to interpret the quotes.

One of the style that I can use for my designs would be through old engravings. Artist like Dan Hillier has a really nice way of putting images together using Victorian sensibilities with a fascination for animal attributes. We were looking through altered engravings in class with Mimi when we stumbled upon this artist.

I actually really like this artist considering how his arts look really pretty and detailed but it looks creepy at the same time. Considering how I really like creepy stuff I was really intrigued by it. The way he pick and put the animal parts together.

Another artist that I actually found interesting is Peter Lewis. He puts together an illustration using digital collage which looks really amazing to me. It looks like his art pieces really tell a lot of story through the piece itself.

One other artist would be Marcel Duchamp, I would say his art pieces are a combination of photo collage and photo montage which is really interesting considering how he actually did a series of the alphabet using that photo manipulation method. Its so surreal yet in a dream-like state.

I guess I really need to brush on my work for this assignment, this is really testing my photoshop skill considering how I have not use this kind of photo manipulation method before. But I feel like it will be really fun as well when it comes to graphic design perhaps I could use this to create fun ideas.
