As part of a mini brief we were asked to create collages to put in are zines.
For my first one I used old David Bowie album covers and painted his famous Aladdin Saine hair and lighting bolt on it. I’m not overly happy with the outcome as it looks quite rushed and messy. I don’t want to put this one in my zine.
I then created collages using tracing paper and pen/ pencils. One one of the collages I even used old pastels and tissue paper. After i had drawn on them I scanned them into Photoshop and added colour and strokes onto them. I really like how they turned out and they have an almost Andy Warhol look to them that I love. I’m going to use these collages in my final zine.
I then did collages with a mix of young and old David Bowie to see what that created, the first one was him in the ‘Life on mars’ video and the face was from hero’s album shoot. The other is from a shoot when David was in the 80’s and the face is from the 70s. I really like the first one and think it illustrates that he was an idol and even in the different eras he is still recognisable.
