Hello I'm Tom Simper, I'm an aspiring graphic designer and this blog is where I am going to display some of my work and thoughts about it.
I have noticed that stars in the media all seem to be making the same hand gestures covering one eye. To illustrate this I have compiled many images of celebs doing these signs and have created a design based around it. I have created two designs focussing on the eye as this seems to be the focal point of the stars in the 'industry'.
I used photoshop to create this image by drawing the outline of an eye on top of the celebs and manipulating the hues and shades until the eye was just visible through the images. |

I have recently been experimenting with different printing techniques such as: Lino cutting and Mono printing. This inspired me to create a poster combining the techniques. The theme of my poster is the control that the music industry has over it's artists. I created Lino stamps of controlling hands and an all seeing eye to represent the controller, with Monarch butterflies and puppet strings showing the control placed upon the artist. I took a Mono print of Jessie J because she is an artist controlled by the music industry which is reflected in her lyrics and music video's. |
