08/10/2010 creating stencils

I got images for the stencil i was making from google images. Before i started to make my own stencil i looked at the work of a artist named Banksy. The point i got from his work is that he always makes the point that the people he stencils want something and are  greedy. My response was Bin laden with a hippie costume on which emphasises war can never be made peaceful no matter who declares they shall have peace. On photoshopi had to merge the pictures together to make the joke on illustrator i made the picture print out in 6 different parts, and here is one screenshot of me using illustrator to edit the printing process:

01/11/2010 Creating our own type-faces

We created our own stencils using our own typefaces
to do this we had to print out letters as a4 from our alphabet folder to cut out wanted parts of the letters we used scissors or a craft knife(not cutting towards ourselfs with the knife ofcourse). Once is had the stencil i used the stencil to use and i used different drawing materials to make different patterns and textures the materials i used were : pencil pastel pen marker. I used one main technique which was just plain patterns diagonal and vertical. i used green and blue on one becuase i like the way both them colours blend in together. The way we documented our pictures was with 2 tungsten lightts which were to make the picture brighter whilst taking a photo of them.
