Indian Dreams
Mixed Media Collage
Illustrator, Photoshop,
This beautiful piece is clearly has been influenced by indian culture, the loud colours that india are known for the sacred animals and gods that they worship, all this culture wrapped up in to one striking piece.
I struggled to find the exact process but just by observation I can tell that most of the effects have been created on illustrator. And I would say for good reason because to get the colours so strong and bold I would say you can't beat digital software.The photo will have been cut out in photoshop and the effects around the image would have been created in illustrator, but for the background I'm not sure, there looks like there could have been some textile patterns applied and the colour looks spray painted, but still these effects could also have been achieved digitally.

I like this method but the first mixed media image that I have looked at feels like it would fit into the theme of the cold war better as at the time these advanced digital techniques didn't exist and I think a a more authentic look to what ever I am going to create would be better.
