Uta Barth uses soft focus to reduce the environment to a series of colour fields.
Jean Faucheur manipulates printed photographs to distort the portraits he takes. In his series 'Destroy' Rankin asked celebrities to literally destroy portraits which he had taken of them. Photo manipulation using digital software can also be used to alter features or distort a person's appearance. You may also wish to look at album covers by designers such as Reid Miles (Blue Note Records) or Peter Saville (Factory Records) for ideas regarding typography. The brief is to create a CD cover an imaginary musical artist or band. You should investigate relevant sources and create your own personal response in the form of the cover design for a CD or CD booklet with reference to the theme of distortion. |
