Final Project

My BIG IDEA for this project was randomness in street art. What I did was I used Photoshop to edit multiple pictures of walls and add my own art to it to somewhat send a message. The first picture I did was a picture of the side of a large building and a live trace image of an orangutan holding the eye of sauron. What I did was took a regular picture of sauron and took it into Adobe Illustrator and used the live trace effect to turn it into a distinguishable black and white picture of sauron. Then what I did was I took a picture of an orangutan holding a big rubber ball and took that into Illustrator as well and turned that into an easily distinguishable picture and merged the two so that it looked like the monkey was holding the eye of sauron watching you. I then found a picture of a large building and put the monkey on the side of the building. I wanted to send a hidden message within my own that you are always being watched but you will never truly know what is actually watching you until you see it. Or you go and try to destroy the ring.

The second picture I did was a picture of Major Glory from the Justice friends. I felt like that would probably be the coolest but one of the most random things I would of ever seen on a wall. The wall that I chose to place the Major on was a wall that on one corner had a one-way street sign and no parking on this side sign. All you can see on the no parking on the side sign is the, this side. A little further to the right in the picture are a small sidewalk block and 5 traffic cones. Above that is what looks like a canopy with the words EXIT cut off at the T so all you can see is the EXI. I decided to put the Major in between the this side sign and the exit canopy. So that it looks as if the major is directing you towards the exit which also looks as if it is under construction and that you can only take this path.

The last image I did was a drawing of two popsicles coneected together. The red popsicle is hungry at the beginning and slowly eats the yellow popsicle. I placed the drawing on a wall that was in a dark alley way and had a dark and dreary overcast. The cartoon is vary happy and upbeat looking which I fell will give it a good contrast to the dark background. The message behind it is supposed to be that anything can be bitter sweet depending on your point of view. The popsicle eating his friend, it’s awesome at first because he is eating a giant popsicle but then he notices that he ate his friend. The dark wall and sky are to have the same affect against the colorful cartoon.
