Textured Portrait
After discovering some interesting
facts and learning/ observing my friend's personal style, I chose the German cross
symbol and decided to design in a grunge style. I made rubbings of the sidewalk and walls from outside to
use as textures. I experimented
with tea stains as well. Once I
got some textures I really liked I scanned them in along with some hand drawn
portraits of Dave. I wanted the
textures to be the main base for my compositions. I layered the textures with my images in Photoshop and used
blending modes until they were almost unrecognizable. I used clipping masks to design my four
portraits. I played with
composition and negative space to really pull the viewer in to my textures and
portraits. I played with
patternmaking of the cross symbol.
After I finished a portrait I liked, the other three really just started
to develop fast.
