Obsession - Back to the beginning yet again


Travel
After finding that last collage of the watermelon I believe I have an idea. I would have six photos, similar to that of the last image, but have six images of buses. The six buses I catch every weekend to get to my boyfriends. Those buses mean nothing to anyone else but to me they are special. Again my only problem is if when I finish it it's boring. However, I will still give it a go and see how it turns out. Samples are always welcome, haha.

Similar to my bag sample I made a sample using the images of my street sign. This links to travel because its the street I have traveled to and from all my life. I would also take photos of other street signs, maybe random ones, or streets which have meaning to me. Maybe the streets I walk down every day.

Obsession - Collage stuff


Collage
This image of a dog is amazing! I want to do this. I love the colours and everything about this. I could get a photo of my cat and mix in my red images, mixing in too ideas? How crazy! I will try out this technique and see what fun things I can create.

I also found this other website with a simple yet great collage. This collage is just of six images which all link becasue they are of the same thing but from different angles. The colour of the watermelon and snow work great together!

Here is a sample which I did about my cat, its a quick sample so it isn't amazing quality. In this sample I have made my cat red because it is my favourite colour. Also, I love my cat and cats in general alllllot.

Obsession - Photos yet again?


First ideas are usually the best.
Okays, looking back at my images from my samples I am drawn back to that 'technique' of distoring the image. BUT what do I take photos of I hear you cry? That, I still don't know. I'm wandering into the theme of colour. Red is my favourite colour by far. Should I take photos of red things? MY HEAD JUST EXPLODED. Okays, What if I take lots of photos of red things then put them all together to make a big pile of redness. A image made up of hundreds of things, the only thing in common is the colour. Still, i'm not too sure. Would it work or even look good? I must try it out. I've started taking photos of red things. Maybe I could just have a book with a hundred red items. PHOTO COLLAGE. The images will make a photo collage. When I finish my final piece I shall put it up here. The image above is an example of how my work could look. A huge mix of reds. This could be good.

Disorting images, like in my samples, is something which I really really liked. But i'm stuck on what to distort. I need to think. What am I obsessed with.
Distoring things. Changing them. You can't tell what it is. Making it different. Making something new. Making something boring interesting.

Obsession - Film.

Sound and film.
Okays, my ideas now involve sound and film. This is because of my obsessions. My obsession with writing. I have to write things down to explain myself, cause I don't talk. Talking? could that be the sound. My obsession with writing means I don't speak. Mixing the two things. Music, i'd like that in the background.
An obsession with someone, myself? A book obsessed with somebody. Thats kinda straying into sketchbook stuff. But what if I made a film about it? The process of the obsession growing. How it goes deeper and darker? Obsession and love. Where is the line?
