Experiments

This experiment was just about throwing images on to a canvas (like a digital collage) , the images where all found from google images. I placed them in illustrator then changed them using the live trace and paint modes to try and get ideas from it. I like the idea of a divided page, like the divide the Berlin wall was at the time. I placed the black bird image over the line because that was the that air crafts role, to travel across into enemy air space and spy on the Russians. I feel the idea is too safe, I need to push for more original ideas.

This idea was result from researching the post card coded message. can you spot the messages within the text. This idea could have a lot of potential but at the moment it is merely a word search.But that idea of a hidden message either in text or more interestingly in illustration could produce more original results

And finally a more simple approach to the first piece (above) I actually prefer this to the first. I think it shows a clear message of a divide between the two countries. I took the simple design principles from the artist Niko ( the victory of the bay of pigs piece) to try and illustrate a simple clear message, but there isn't anything in this image that spells out that all important theme "Hidden"
