Public Service Poster

Final Poster



My poster is going to cover "Think Before You Ink" talking about people getting stupid, pointless, ugly tattoos (In my opinion!)

I like the newsprint on this one and the fact that everybody knows its printed in INK
The octopus squirts ink when threatened so I thought it'd be fun to use him.  Mr. Babcock gave me the idea of using a Dr. Stranglove reference and giving the octopus an arm that has a mind of its own that's trying to give one tentacle a tattoo while another tentacle trys to hold it back.

Overall background of the piece will be a very close image of skin, close enough that you can see the pours and all
The message will be written in "tattoo" text and will be placed on a tattoo banner

Sketches up later!

Letter Form Project

PICASA PICS


Some ideas I have for the letter project are:

-H: Have a jug of milk tipped over with the milk flowing to form a letter. Made out of glue
-A: Make a plate of spaghetti and make the letter out of meat sauce. Place a fork with someone holding it into the plate
-N: Make the letter out of glitter on a desk. Surround it with other craft tools such as scissors, glue, ribbon, etc
-N: Carve a letter into an apple/orange skin and place in tree
-A: Tacks on a cork board
-H: Cut letter out of a large leave, use the negative space up against the sunset


-H: paint letter on finger with nailpolish
-I: Cut the letter I out of paper and attach the a window. have the letter cast a shadow on something interesting, maybe a face? 
-L: place cereal in a bowl of milk and make it make the letter L
-L: toast some bread, cut out letter, put toast on plate with some peanut butter and jelly
-I: Spill some coffee beans at a coffee store to form a letter. Get the idea of the coffee shop in the photo somehow
-S: Put a stencil of the cut out letter on a shirt or some kind of cloth. Spill a mess over it and remove stencil to show the letter
