(B7) ROBOTIC ILLUSTRATED PHOTOGRAPHS

 

I drew various shapes in illustrator to add to the photographs going into the zine. I wanted to keep in touch with the cyber/futuristic theme so, a lot of the drawings focused on bionic body parts and neon lights. I did also create  iridescent lense flares to add to the photographs that had less colour. The large right-hand side artboard above, features elements from Rhianna's still life photography. The majority of her work focuses on human models so, I thought of an effective way to include these shapes without them looking out of place by using them as the three-dimensional shapes in the photographs like she asked in the beginning.

I used a range of techniques and illustration to create a variation of edits to her photographs for the zine. Some are quite drastic in comparison to others and I do plan on adding completely unedited photographs to the zine too so there is a balanced mix. I did not want the photographs to get lost in the illustrations otherwise it would not promote her photography very well.
