Before and After (Honig Experiment)

Before original photograph of me (Plunge, Lithuania).
Development process of wolf recreation.
After initial result of wolf recreation.

This is a Before and After experiment with transforming me into a wolf in the original shot.

A photograph was used to create this piece. All facial birth spots were eliminated with the healing spot tool and then overlayered with the healing brush tool. After successfully overlayering the mouth and face skin, the dodge tool was utilised to brighten up the eyes and a black pupil was recreated. To make the hair in the photo look like wolf fur, it was overlayered and extra shadows were deepened with a burn tool. A pen brush was used to draw in the ears, nose, and lips, and a charcoal brush was used to create texture. The component was cut out and put onto a background image when the final detail was successfully added. The photo was taken at Plunge, Lithuania, during the Christmas season.

Culture Jammed Anti-Advertisement

This is an Anti-Advertisement collage promorting against smoking with the contrasting colour palette.

To create this piece, I cut out a cigarette (Adam Sherwin, 2016) and a little animal (Campaign n.d.) to demonstrate the hopelessness of smoking and how someone you admire can encourage you in living a healthier lifestyle. With a brush, the original words were masked and the words “I don’t need those” were added on top. Berlin Sans was the typeface used in this advert.

Culture Jammed Logo T-shirt

This is a Culture Jamming Logo T-shirt with an upside down Nike.

An upside down Nike appears on this Culture Jamming Logo T-shirt. The new logo has the same colour scheme as the old one. Instead of Nike, the design now features Hike, which illustrates a person hiking a hill with a backpack.

In order to create this piece, I used geometric forms to create a figure. The Nike logo was turned 180 degrees after the figure was correctly formed and gathered. Impact was the typography utilised in the new logo. The t-shirt photo was then downloaded from the internet.

Banner

This is a “You Can Do It” banner encoraging people to believe in their abilities and follow their dreams.

I used a pen tool to trace my own hand with a light brown ink to create this piece. Fill a darker colour with the filling bucket once my hand has been traced properly. Both sides of the banner were copied and transferred by hand. The banner’s typography was bold Sans Serif.

Clenched Fist used in the banner to show requirement to united for similar purpose.

Propaganda Poster

This is a Propaganda poster with a tree branch sticking out encouraging people to grow more trees.

In order to create this piece, I applied geometric forms to create a hand. Geometric tree branches were gathered together after the hand was successfully formed. However, the poster needed to be improved, thus the geometric construction was replaced with a real hand pointing its finger at the audience. A pen tool was used to sketch in the entire hand and tree branches. This poster’s typography was bold Sans-Serif.

University of Hull Icon – Reimagined

First University of Hull symbol logo reimagined with geometric shapes.
Second University of Hull symbol logo reimagined with geometric shapes.
Third University of Hull symbol logo reimagined with geometric shapes.

This is a reinvented University of Hull symbol logo with geometric forms. The construction’s original symbol was a fire.

To create the triangles in this painting, I utilised a white arrow to ensure that they are authentic to the actual sign. Then I duplicated them and reassembled them into a flower. However, the fire colour palette must be maintained. The pattern tool was pushed and some shapes were repositioned after the flower and petals were completed. The technique was then performed for two more possible modifications.

Personal Calling Card

This is a calling card with the interpretation of nature by a butterfly flying its flower.

In order to make this calling card stand out, I interpreted a flower calling my name in black. Tulip will be surrounded by an orange border. So, using a red butterfly with a white outline, the tulip was screaming my name. Outside, the background will be blue, making the flower and butterfly stand out. I used a shape tool in Adobe Illustrator to create rectangles and rhombuses for this card. I used outline and then ungroup to resize each letter for Sans-Serif typography.

In order to create this piece, I employed geometric forms to create a note. A pattern was created by putting together a few notes. A pattern was successfully multiplied using a group tool.
