Whilst taking photographs around the Northern Quarter, we meet this
man (featured in these designs) who just stopped and started performing almost
and saying all sorts of random things. The Northern Quarter is full of such eccentric
characters like him so I really wanted to use him in a few of my designs. Using
Photoshop I repeated his head several times and increased the threshold to
create a screen print effect. I really like the composition however I think it
looks like a propaganda poster. At first I thought it could have been the image
being in black and white contributing to the propaganda style so I added
another colour which I thought made a slight difference. The colour adds vibrancy
to the design however I feel the propaganda element is still there; it may be
the style of repetition which makes it look like some kind of army poster. In
addition to this I feel that this would have been more successful if had screen
printed the image myself, however it was not possible to get an induction this
time in the academic year.
