Collages

After doing a couple of collages within my sketch book i experimented with different kinds of collages on photoshoot, working with my own photos colours and 60’s patterns. Collaging isn’t an area I’m very confident in there for its a weakness of mine as its something i don’t tend to do within my work. So i tried my best to try different types of collaging to see what i liked and what worked within the style of Zine i am creating. I wanted to perfect the collage in this project as i think it fits the zine perfectly so i tried and tested many different ideas on paper and digitally to get the right feel for my chosen theme.

Looking at patten and repetition in this one to see what effect it gave. Its not the effect i imagined and i doesn’t meet what i want for my zine.

 

This collage i liked, as i added in some illustration over the top of a simple image layer to create a double effect photo with a classic 60’s patten as the back ground.

 

This is the collage i have added into my zine, as i really liked the effect of the back and white with my photoshoot added in on top with the burst of 60’s colours.
I looked into features for this collage as well as proportions. Taking a collection of different section of a range of my pictures from my make up photoshoot to create the face.

60’s Photoshoot – Zine

When i was planning to do a 60’s inspired photoshoot i went straight to Pinterest to build up ideas and to get ideas from photographers looking a the style of the photograph, the styling, backgrounds and editing.

I didn’t want to replicate the photos exactly but i liked the colours used and took this as my colour pallet for my photoshoot and zine theme. I also liked the fact that even though you can tell the pictures are posed its fun and carefree with the two models, there for i used two friends to get that chemistry across in my photos as i wanted the same effect. I tested out colour and black and white editing to see what looked best with my photos, however i did sway towards preferring the colour photos because of how much the outfits stood out and the black and white lost this element, though i did use black and white for two pictures within my zine because a lot of iconic 60’s photos espesially ones with Twiggy are black and white.



These photos being a few i selected and edited for my zine, doing the photoshoot on location, looking at   different locations to get the perfect backdrop, finding different locations to work with the inspiration i have taken from some 60’s fashion photos. The car was a perfect find and fit well with the style i wanted to portray, the white house and stairs stood out to me and i wanted to use this as the location as the makes the yellow and red stand out above everything else. Even though my zine topic is Twiggy i focused of colour and i think that was i have i managed to make stand out through out both my photoshoots.

GIF’s

After the workshop with Mark about creating animated gifs on photoshop i went and tried it with my own photoshoot work. I went a tested out a few ideas after i go
t confident in the process, experimenting with graphs on top, timing and effects to see what work best for different photo sets.

Here are a few examples of what i liked;

60’s Make-up

I knew as as soon as i picked Twiggy as a topic for my zine that i wanted to do a photoshoot dedicated to the make up of the 60’s looking at iconic looks Twiggy wore and 60’s make up trends looking at the colours that were worn and how. 

Shapes

Colour

I looked at the colours, the contrasts, eye shadow and liner shapes. The most common look was the bold black eyeliner with a catlike and cut crease line with the nude lip so this was definitely  work from and adapt to the models face. I look that i really like that i saw used within fashion magazine’s through the 60’s was the bright blue eye shadow, a typical 60’s look that isn’t as bold when used today in fashion. I used the blue eye show and but stuck with  the classic Twiggy eye liner shape but i did use a pink lipstick to completely clash with the blue, i didn’t want it to bold as the eye was the statement bit but also wanted to work to clashing vibrant colours throughout the look.

60’s make-up was always bold and vibrant working and matching with the outfit, if that was having clashing colours or matching. I enjoyed the make up and going over dramatic so it worked well on camera with the head shots i did so through my other photoshoot i will still like to use the make up as a stand out section to each photo.
