PhotoShop Trials

PHOTOSHOP TRIALS...

I added one of my drawings to this image I found on google of old traditional victorian designed wallpaper.  I wanted to put old and new together.  I used Photo shop to manipulate both images and liked the final result very much so.

I also found the background image and pin-up girl on google and manipulated both using photoshop.  I stretched her image making her seem more 'real' or plus-size as our society calls it.  I'm experimenting with patterns and copying an image over and over again as with most patterns.

This was more pop-arty than the previous two.  I wanted to add text this time and only work with black and white.  Loved the outcome, the plus-sized model really gave it some sparkle in my eyes!

This one I was working with mixing polynesian patterns and japanese patterns then manipulating the images on Photoshop.  This I didn't really like so I gave it a halftone dotted look but still wasn't impressed, after all this is just another experiment right?

This is another failed attempt.  When I see maori patterns (koru) they remind me of those wrought? iron gates, so I added that design and played around with it on photo shop.  End result? Poo.

Man, I'm having a bad day me thinks!
And again, a bullshit piece.  Playing around with wallpaper designs trying to attempt to make some more pop-art but once again another big, fat FAIL!

Now this I likey!
I used my image from my drawing a day journal and used photoshop to manipulate into a patterned piece and voila!
I also liked the gritty-looking margins of my book, so I decided not to crop those and keep.  Good decision Tara!

This was a fun piece!
While researching the Mexican Holiday 'Day of the Dead'  I came across a few posters for evernts happening for this holiday so i decided to make my own with my own designs.  Only bad things I can see is the girls in the middle aren't actually placed right in the middle and the top of the poster has too much space, or rather it has more than the bottom with makes it look wonky or awkward.
