Julien Opie.

This image of myself was created on photoshop in the style of Julien Opie. Done by using a basic image and stroking the main features of the face and then filling in the sections with block colour. Overall this style of image is very pop-art and would work well for an album cover but has previously been done by "Blur".

Photoshop.

photoshop skills, photocopy filter and then neon glow.

Constructed Photography

This is scanned from my sketchbook, i used mixed materials to create a multi-layered image; editorial pictures and textures. By using a scalpel knife and removing segments of the main image it opens up windows to the materials behind, creating depth. To add an illustration element to this creation i used a blue fine liner to make sharp shapes and emphasize certain details.

This technique could be applied to create and album cover, depending on the album name/music genre/band name, the diversity of this is amazing - making it possible to change the purpose and meaning of the illustration.

Matthew Hollings.

Matthew Hollings’ work attempts to bridge the divide between traditional draftsmanship and contemporary digital mark-making. Images initially start out as hand drawings before being scanned into the computer to be coloured and composed.

Influences are drawn from a range of subjects, often found in the content of his work. Matthew is equally as comfortable addressing mark-making challenges of portraiture to conceptual demands of narrative.

Matthew is a graduate of Camberwell College of Arts and currently lives and works in London.
