DIGITAL EXPERIMENTS: ANDY WARHOL




This is my Andy Warhol inspired piece I created using Photoshop. I chose this photograph I took of my cousin skateboarding because I really liked the original shot with the skateboard in the air, and I thought it would look interesting as a Warhol inspired piece. 
To achieve this effect I first placed my image into Photoshop and used the 'Threshold' tool to simplify the photograph, giving it a more cartoon like effect. I then selected the paint bucket tool, along with my chosen colour and painted the parts of the image I wanted in colour, I repeated this process four times.
I am quite pleased with my outcome and really liked how the four images look together.

DIGITAL EXPERIMENTS: ANIMATED GIF





These are some GIF examples I made using the 'animation' tool in Photoshop. I really like the effect and I am possibly thinking of  taking this technique further for my final piece.
