Changing the content of my project

Hey everyone,

Just thought id let you know that im changing the content of my projet. To be perfectly honest, I dont want to do the whole "male/female stereotypes". In fact, I never had the intention of doing it this semester.
The style will remain the same, which is through the use of photoshop but my idea will be anti-advertisements. One or two might be on serious issues, such as rape or smoking, but not all of them will be. So if anyone has something they would like to see protested against then send your ideas/opinions my way.

Thanks

ARTISTS BLOCK

This blog is dead. Everyone please emerge from your graves and give feedback. I am stuck in a rut, what with working for Blanche, my birthday and 3 assignments due on Tuesday. Sucks to be me. Anyway, I'm scrapping out that Balochi women in suits with coffee or Nestle on their heads...its coming off as very tacky in my head and I don't know how to make proper bodies. My initial idea was to so a study of their objects specifically the "Matka" and perhaps sightings of the village and their women. I want to steer clear of contemporary Urban life and go back in time...even though that is what Balochistan (the village we rule) looks like currently. I have 2 canvases, tonnes of paint and a severe Artists block. A few pictures to depict the life and women there:

My 2nd idea was to have huge blow ups of African Masks and objects. I would have 4 large canvases...similar to Chuck Close's tapestries but I am aiming for a golden hue rather that bronze. I already have my previous work focusing on African Art and am interested in taking that further. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

Hi Greg,
I was wondering if that price list you had for Copy Kats is available online?
Thanks!

Project Concept: 1000 Words

Finally! I was beginning to get worried that I wouldn't be able to settle on an idea that seemed both feasible AND interesting. I was knocking around at least four or five ideas for the last few weeks!

Anyhow, I know it's a bit of a departure from what I was thinking on the first day, but I'm going to be going with large scale posters, done digitally. I'm aiming for 25 x 40 inches in size, done in sets of three, and as many sets as time allows for.

As for what and how, I plan to write out stream of consciousness writings, based on some writing prompts. From each of these writings, I'll take three sections of 1000 words, and create an icon (25x40px) that personifies each of those sections. I'll blow up that image to be a whopping 1dpi, wherein I'll put one word of each text segment in to each 'pixel'. The solid coloured sections of the icons will then individually have more detailed imagery put in to them, done in something like 3 or 5 shades of the original colour, as to maintain the mosaic appearance of the original icon
when viewed from afar.

Any thoughts or criticisms on this idea? I'm organizing myself tonight. Tomorrow I begin the first set -- aiming to have two ready for Oct 2nd's bench mark, if all goes to plan.

so...2 weeks work, 35% done, and I'm finding myself disappointed. Maybe it's because I look at it on a regular basis, since it's hanging in my room. Whatever the case, something is bothering me. So, with fresh eyes, can you give me some feedback.

The bright colors have gotten to me.

Thanks,

St. Pat

Looking forward to work everyone produces! Just thought I'd say that.
