This is my first week on lukes project and what we have been looking at is a article piece in the paper all about what the government is trying to cover up the act of squatting as homeless people. When we first got started with this project we had to read the article over and over again until we wanted to take something from it and illustrate it, with this I then picked a short sentence which was " The government are trying to paint squatting as a lifestyle not something that happens to happen to you" with this i got to work on creating three images which would become my draft to send to to uke to review the piece as it is. here are my drafts.
When I sent them to luke he gave me great advice in that the 3rd image could be funny if i worked on it more but with the over strong image at the top he felt like that would show off my style more, and i completely agree what i tryed to do in the 3rd image was cross out a pig to try get a laugh out of it but didn't make sense as why would the government paint something they didn't want, moving on from that luke said my 2nd image was to simple and didn't work which makes sense as iut was a sort of back up drawing if anything, the 1st image was the best but luke stright away said that really the government would want to be more modern than that of using the canvas and paint and maybe would try to use mordern art in a way, soI got to work researched loads of artist and one stound out from the rest and that was andy Warhol. I was really trying to get the image of david cameron completely correct and make sure i got his face completely dead on which i feel like i did and then adding andy into was easy but it also felt like steve jobs at the same time, so the image needed something so i added the famous tin can that andy Warhol painted back in the 70's and is really what made him famous if anything.
Adding the can made the image just so much better and at this point i was happy to take it in and show luke, when i printed it how ever it came out to be a bit grey in some places which I am now in the process of trying to fix. over than that i feel like this has been my best project yet and really feel at home with my work when it comes to editorial as i feel ic an use my humour in such a easy and fortful maner.
