Pornographics Diary

Pornographics was an interesting project for me, me and Anthony Parlane worked from the same idea which we both came up with. We took the ideas in quite separate directions I went down a very illustrative route and Anthony went down a very graphic route

Unintentionally working this way taught me a few about how illustrators use programs like Illustrator/Photoshop as  I usually use these programs for editing images I have taken or laying out pieces typography. I’m not used to tracing and colouring images that I have drawn or traced. It feels strange like I am doing it wrong or not properly but the results seem pretty good so I can’t be doing that bad. It seemed a little surreal seeing what Anthony had produced as it is not what I would expect from him. Have to admit I wish that I had been a bit more subtle with my poster. Anyway I experienced a new way of working I have actually wanted to try this way of making a poster out of curiosity to see if there is a difference in the way illustrators use the adobe suite not a tremendous difference but it just feels different.

Printing wasn’t a problem it just takes a while to come out of the printer.

As for the opening night of the exhibition I was surprised to see that many people turn up. I realize that they were mainly friends and family but it felt good to see that many people turn up for the event. I also thought it was funny to see how many peoples grandparents seemed to like the work and appreciate what we had done
