Dave Mckean

By using different textures Dave McKean can create an image that stand out. Like in this image for example you can see he has probably drawn part of the image and scanned it in so he can enhance the quality and add more effects in high quality.

This image is flat, 2d. He has used a variety of brushes that you can see in the image, there are probably a number of layers to create the overall effect. There is an effect that look like pastel drawings, he could have done this by hand or on the computer, he probably did this by hand and edited it on photoshop to make it more crisp.

Text has been used on this image, it looks like arabic writing but smudged a little. The image is dark, probably darkened on photoshop as an overlay to give it a more sinister look.

I will probably be using pastels like he has for my hippie, like pastel colour in an overlay once my image is on photoshop to give it a soft and gentle look which is quite the opposite of this image.

Sam Glynn

I like the idea of this image, the artists has generally used the same image 4 times just altered the clothes on each body although the clothes are still the same, just different colours and pattern's . The clothes also link in with the images behind the bodies, each one represents a season, the first represents spring showing rain because it always rains in spring, the second is summer represented by his bright yellow and the fact he is the only one not wearing a jacket to show it is hot. The third is autumn shown by the golden leaves on his jacket and the final one represents winter with the christmas tree's.

I will be using the season summer in my hippie alter ego. Hippies are always outside and "at one" with nature, when ever you think of hippies you think of summer, flowers and peace signs. I think i will put flowers and pastel colours in the back ground of my hippie photo.

Adhemas Batista

Adhemas work consists of strong colours and contrast between methods of creating the image, for example, there is photography but the photograph changes into a cartoon as it goes on.

It is obviously all done on a computer but would be drafted out by hand before going straight ahead with it.

This again is like an idea i had for my hippie alter ego, with flowers and swirls over lapping onto my image/s.

Cindy Sherman

I like this because of its simplicity, it doesnt have any effects of fancy things but its still obvious who the artists is trying to be.

I want to do somthing simple in black and white like this for my business woman alter ego but i will look a bit more busy and stressed out.

I think it will look better in black and white, plain colours, to look smater and sharper.
