Audrey - tears of frustration

This is similar to some previous examples I have put on this blog. It shows how colour imposed through collage onto a simple black and white photograph can translate emotion. In this case... it has been super-imposed on to the eyes, blocking them out and creating tears.
The tears are spiked and vividly coloured... insinuating anger and frustration. 

This Providence - Who are you now?

I came across this album cover the other day by chance, was listening to the album and subsequently noticed that the style of the album art was exactly the kind of design that I wanted my work to take inspiration from.
The simple background goes very well with the complexity of both the detail and the colours of the rest of the images.
I like the way that the images, seemingly un-related fit together so well, with carefully blended edges and colours.
There are a large amount of seemingly hidden in this intricate design. This is exactly what I am trying to do with my work.

'Let's cheers to this'

This is an interesting use of collage. Very simple and very 'to the point', a clear juxtaposition of images drawn from photographs and textures.
The type in the banner is a standard serif font which does not take away any focus on the image.
The neutral colour palette adds to the subtlety of the image, making it look natural and warm. My first thought when I saw this was bland, desert heat. 

Girl

This is a style I want to incorporate into my designs. Line drawings and photographs combined with different textures. 

Dreams

This is just a collage made up of different textures to show the man's dream.

Dreams are a very interesting concept to portray in collage as the possibilities are endless and the way things link in to each other adds a flowing feel to the image.

Wolf + Flowers

This is an interesting collage which has been made by hand. I like the result of combining the texture of the wallpaper and the combination of the angry dog face and the calm flower image.

Hands - Different ways of drawing/photographing

I am looking to draw/photograph hands but I need to research ways in which it can be done to really represent what I am trying to say. 

I do not know whether I want the hands at the top to be holding each other... because you then won't be able to see the life lines on the palms.

I thought it might be a good idea to do hearts made up of hands. One male and one female. 

I will then draw these.

These are some of my own photos of people's hands.
