Rememberable adverts

This is the new advert by Red Bull. I think its really effective because its rememberable because of its humour.

Type faces

As part of a little project i've set myself to do with faces I decided I wanted to create interesting and unique faces to show how all people are different. I thought it would be fun to create some face imagery using only type. As you can see above the results are quite silly but fun and certainly unique. My aim now is to create a short animation to practise with the Adobe after effects software and to create an even more interesting result.

A few more developments

The latter three images are based on the theme of being trapped, enclosed and confined. I've just played around with wire, took photos of them and changed the colours using photoshop.

More colour developments

Below are some more colour variations of some of the photos I took of the disfigured/melted carrier bags.

This is the only one that I've tried using multiple photographs over the top of each other in layers so far but I'm planning to try a few others.

Reminds me of a blood cell

Plastic bag experiments

In my latest experiments I decided to rip up carrier bags and melt them in the oven. I then photographed the deformed plastic and the image below is one of these photographs. 

Below is my favourite development where I've played around with the colours in the photograph.
