I wanted to further my experimentation of the deconstruction and reconstruction of playing cards in both a metaphorical and physical way. I selected some images from my ‘Cloud’ photoshoot and resized them to fit the standard playing card ratio. I edited the images to remove some of tones, making the images have more of a red hue to contrast against the full bodied colours of the playing cards. I tore the playing cards and layered them over parts of the images to reconstruct the bodies and give them a fragmented and distorted feel. By having the playing cards laid over the subjects body makes them feel as though they are overpowering and overtaking the subject- imposing the structures and restrictions of the playing cards function/meaning  over the female form. I really like how these came out and think they define my projects concept well- giving me a good base to understand how my illustrated cards will be formated and presented.
