Icons of pop

                                       
For my design I used the threshold tool to create the black and white effect linking to my theme of Banksy. I then used the Posterize tool to make it look pixelated along side the Noise tool.

I then used the font tool and placed the font on a red rectangle in the style of Barbra Kruger.

Inspiring Artists- Barbara Kruger.



I like this image because it's really stands out, the artist has chosen to cover Hitler's eyes as eye contact has a more intense effect. It's as if the artist thinks if Hitler looks into your eyes he can see your mind and control and manipulate you. Which links to the words she has written, the red background could be a connotation for danger. It's also very bright against the black and white background adding impact.

Inspiring Artists- Banksy




This piece of work is inspiring because it goes against stereotypical views, this piece of art is making a statement that anyone no matter what profession, gender or race can be homosexual.  The colours used are black and white which could be a connotation for right and wrong as homosexuality is seen to be a very "black and white" subject... People either agree or disagree with it. Also it stands out and goes with the theme of policeman's uniform.
