One of my recent projects in the Visual studies module is 'Artfashion' and for this brief I have researched artists/illustrators that inspired me and create 4 illustrations in their style. The idea was to select one of the four words from the brief, 'Hybridity, Identity or Technology' and explore the word in further detail to produce a theme for the illustrations, that are going to be created in the style of the artist/illustrator I explore. I decided to explore the idea of my identity and as I am from Algeria, I quickly narrowed it down to my cultural background in particular the tribes that used to live in Algeria (some still live in certain regions), focusing on the Berber people or 'Kabyle' women of Algeria. Also, I am focusing on the elaborate jewellery, headwear and the meanings behind the tattoos that they have, which I will hopefully combine with a contemporary twist by using fluorescent colours, which the artists I am being inspired by employ in their work- they are Niki Pilkington, Website: http://www.nikipilkington.com and Louise McNaught Website: https://louisemcnaught.wordpress.com please do check out their beautiful and awesome work!
Just wanted to share this concept board I created on Photoshop which will hopefully help get across the idea behind my Artfashion project.
