in previous lessons, i have been doing a banksy style project, i did this by getting a picture of a wall and recreating one of banksy's famous creation's. on photoshop i used various, different effects to the design, the most effective effect was using overlay layers to add more of a graffiti effect. also, going slightly out of the lines on each side added an original effect to the design, making it look like other modern day graffiti. if i did this again i would try different fonts as the font i used did not look as effective as id of liked.

i have tryed using the 'subtract' blending effect to try and make the it look more like original, modern graffiti by making the colour on the inside abit more transparent.

I have been testing different filters in photoshop and I will be able to use the 'neon glow' effect on my final design as it adds an urban effect to the image, and the 'texturise' effect adds a more rural, hilly effect to the image. The effect used in the top, right corner didnt work as i blurred the image to much.

in previous lessons, using chalk on black card. i have been drawing city landscapes and hills in different colour chalks, to make it look more effective. and then i went on to printing, which did not look as effective.

i have chosen beijing as the initial background idea, it will be the outline of the city in my design.
in the foreground of my idea, there will be black grass/flowers. there black because of the smog and fumes cause by the city. the clouds at the top of the design, will have a grass effect.

I have changed the colour on my man to make him look more cartoony & unique.

then i added a ripple filter to make him look less ordinary.

I will improve this image by adding filters.
