Photoshop Application


Building Image:

Whats working?
i like the layered repetition of form (skull) and the mannequin's face and the general compositing.
i also like the colours that i used in photoshop with high contrast.
Whats not working?
The background is uneven and there are some power plugs in the way.
Whats next?
maybe still using the general composition, i could make the background more aesthetically pleasing and maybe add more skulls and faces into the background.
Whats working?
i like the idea behind the picture the eye coming though the hand of the artist. I like the strong colours and high contrast. Also how there is paint on my hand.
Whats not working?
the background doesnt work as well as i would like it too. i cant put my finger on it but i think it is because there is a light switch, and there is black at the sides.
Whats next?
maybe i could make the eye fit a bit better into my hand? also make the background either plain? or try to make a kind of frame that it will fit in.



                                                                Lens Based:
  Whats working?
i like the pose i am in. i like the halo-like disc above my head, as well as the red beam of the supporting structure of the building. i like how the light is almost coming from where the camera is angled, we can only see a little bit of shadow.
Whats not working?
i am at a slight angle which i dont think is as effective if i was face on. the eye on the halo above me is slightly off centre and it is not easy to determine that it is an eye.
Whats next?
i will take the shot front on, maybe with the sun doing straight as well. and make the eye in the disc more recognisable.
Whats working?
i like how my face has been merged with the jaw of the pig, and the top of my head appears to be sprouting a silver fern. i also like the pattern i put on top, slightly faded.
Whats not working?
i mistakenly put, 'show time and date' in the picture :@ and the fern doesnt sit on the centre of my head.
Whats next?
i am going to toy with the idea of plants/buildings/thoughts/objects? sprouting out of head and the idea of putting a pattern faded over the top.
