Silk Screen

Silk Screen
Steve's Music Store
For my silk screen project, i used a picture i took in toronto of a Steve's Music Store sign. The process took a long time and i had to redo it 3 times because things werent working out for me. It got really annoying but i find it was worth it because i love my final copy. I decided to use black paint because if it had color i dont think it would look as good. I decided to add a little something to the shirt by making black lines all over the shirt with paint. I thought having more then just the picture on a shirt would give it a little more "oomph" Overall i am very happy with my final project and thank Sara Kelly for modeling my shirt for me!

Acrylic Lift


Acrylic Lift
For my acrylic lift i took a picture of a car windshield. The picture was specifically of the windshield wipers. I chose to take this picture for its deep meaning. Windshield wipers clear the windshield so you are able to see out of it. The deep meaning is that the windshield wipers are what is making life clearer. Its the outlook on life. For my acrylic lift i used 10 layers. When making my lift i got really frustrated and almost threw it out a couple times. I had a hard time getting the paper off and ended up with a hole. Trying to patch up the hole with glue left a mark on the lift causing me to get frustrated again. To be honest Im surprised its not in the trash. I like my picture a lot and it is not using any rules. It is not balanced, there is no rule of thirds, and no framing. Those being just a few examples. Overall, I like my picture a lot and hope you do too.
