I wasn’t quite sure how to develop my project further with the ‘blue-print’. So, I decided to look back and play around more with photoshop. I added more detail into these pieces compared to my previous photoshop artworks. I wanted to experiment with perspective, especially with the shapes surrounding the building to see if they then change the perspective of the whole piece.
For the first artwork, I was inspired with the colour theme I saw on a random old poster in Leith. I decided to also add a rectangle to which I them edited to made the shape have perspective. I thought the shapes and the colours themselves contrast against the glass building. Without the stripes, I felt the piece was dull and empty. By adding the shapes, it gives the artwork more depth and detail.
I enjoyed using the stripes and choose to continuing with experimenting with that aspect. I originally was just going have the shape and the building itself, but not only was it a boring composition, but also the colours in the piece contrasted, but in a bad way that made the piece look flat. By adding the white stripes it balancing the two apposite colours and bring depth. Also allowing the building to stand out.
Out of all three, this piece would have to be the most similar to my previous pieces. I wanted to look more to cutting the building in small pieces and they overlapping them. I thought it represent the feeling of buildings upon buildings feel that most people experience when living in a city.
