Below
is my first Adobe Photoshop generated project. It is titled Movement
Of A Nomad: A Motion Journey of Tunnels, Streets, Cracks and Holes with Sound.
MOAN is a speculative project for a documentary series created for
online release and on my blog. It will chronicle sights and sounds as
seen through my minds lenses and captured via digital still and digital motion
devices.
I
created this project for class. The assignment is to learn Photoshop and
to promote me while doing so. Among other things, I am an actor, a
photographer and videographer and a singer. I am an observer and a lover
of people and the world we live in. Most of the time I would rather give
than receive. Giving means helping where I can and when I can. Not for recognition, but because I enjoy
it. Observing is how I learn and how I find opportunity to help.
When I am performing, I see it as an opportunity to reveal what I have learned
and show an audience a new perspective or something about themselves.
Being a fly on the wall, is another way of observing and popping in and out of
moments to contribute along the way. How
I have designed this movie poster for MOAN
is a collage of what you have just read.
There are not only literal "layers" within the poster, there are metaphorical layers as well. Numbers, visual impressions and words and implied movement are intentional and symbolize alone and collectively in many ways. You can do the math or just soak in the impressions. Again the assignment is to promote me; all of me, the artist, the observer and the helper. In this poster, I am a fly on the wall. I shot three layers of the photos in the NYC
subways. The fourth layer is a photo taken
by my friend and fellow classmate, Hugo.
He and I were partnered up by Dr. ET, on another assignment which
included taking photos of each other. As
part of this poster project, we were to use one of the photos our partner took
of us. As required, I layered /
dissolved / digitally manipulated it into this poster of MOAN. Hint…A movie called The Fly?
This poster promotes me and parts of me…The Artist, The Observer and The
Helper. Leave a comment and let me know
what ya’ think…
