I have decided my final image, I have chosen it from other peoples opinions. I have chosen the one with the plain black background. I also have another reason for doing so, I thought the one with the coloured background, could seem rather complicated and confusing, to get the ‘about me’ theme across. I am really happy, with what I have come up with. Obviously with more time, I feel I would have a better creation. I am pleased with the results.

These are early research ideas that i had, as a foreground etc, i really wanted to show some kind of 'freakish' emotion, and i wanted to show this in a humourous way, to get my style of thoughts accross.
After this idea, i decided against it as i had no idea for a composition to go with it. I really wanted to create some facial expresion, and so i further developed an idea from the summer work that we had been asked to produce. From an inspired artist, H.R.Giger and an idea from an album cover (The Berzerker), i came up with some rather bizare sureal creatures/ monsters. By aranging these in a certain way, i managed to create a facial expresion!

This is an image that i have made from a black and white photography and a digital colour photograph, both are in leeds . I wanted to combine the elements to create ths interesting complation.
In this image it has elements of the things i realy enjoy this is both in in writing and in imagery. This is just a realy good starting point towards my finished design.

My main ideas have always been a mixture of the two types of photography and some hand drawn illustration. I would really like to probably include some image of me with the stuff, which I really love. Of course this is probably the obvious thing which everyone wants, but it is a lot harder than I thought. I don’t realy yet have any strong outstanding ideas yet, but I am gradually coming up with different elements to make up images. So far I have used some of the useful tools of Photoshop, but I have also used the live trace feature of Illustrator for my drawings. As image manipulation goes these are very handy pieces of software when available to me on the go. I do like to execute my ideas almost as soon as possible from when I think of them, or else I might forget and translate them into some horrible distorted form!I really like the surreal side of art and when it comes to symbolism, the artist ‘HR Giger’ really does do it for me. I really love how he uses futuristic/alienated imagery and is mostly a ‘freakish’ combination of some creature. His style is really unique and usually high detailed and sometimes complicated.
