Assignment 2

Hi everyone, I'm just going to post up my abstraction process and the one i chose.

Not sure if this is what they were looking for..

please give comments cos i'm not really sure what to do!

Anyway i picked Lindsay Lohan and Amy Winehouse. They're in a capsule that represents drugs.

These are the original photos:

This is my outline:

And this is my abstraction process:

1. I developed the 1st photo by drawing out Lindsay and Amy (as above) and placing them in my concept. Both of them are known for abusing drugs, and I used a capsule to illustrate that.

2. I took out details like highlights and made the skin colour all equal.

3. I took out more details like the strands of hair, necklace on Amy, and changed their shirts to be one colour.

4. I focused on just their faces cos they're still pretty recognisable.

5. I changed the colour of the pill to white and grey, and the red sign to black.

6. I took the features of Lindsay and Amy and used black, white and grey.

I like the 4th one the most but of course if it can't be in colour then i'd have to do something about it. Thats a bit tricky though..

If not I'd have to pick the last one but I'm afraid you can't really tell its Lindsay and Amy.

Anyway I'll update this post later on. I just wanted to post up what i did.

I'm probably gonna edit the 4th one.. probably will draw the nose as a line instead and tweak it a little to fit black, white and another colour. hope it works.

Okay so I made a few minor adjustments here and there. Because I didn't realise all the abstractions had to be in black and white already, and the only one with colour was the final piece.

My conceptual statement, using Lindsay Lohan and Amy Winehouse, is to say no to them, say no to drugs.

My abstraction process:

This is my chosen prototype and I included a placement for it:
