CONTEXT PRACTICAL: LYRIC ARTWORK *

From my research I printed and experimented with collages, merging the artists using a ripped technique to highlight all the artists together. Using the original artist at the forefront for some and the artists that copied for the alternative.


Slick Rick x Miley 

To start off my digital artwork I set the art work to A3,  changed to black and white and dropped the opacity to 60% and started to experiment with the lyrics and style.

I experimented with type variations to highlight the similarities within the song to make the comparison even clearer and felt this design was the strongest. I then decided to add the artists name, date and song name to show the theme of the past and present even stronger. 

Miley

I then followed the same process for the alternative design for the artwork.

Final outcomes

The final designs for my exhibition I think these two designs highlight the comparisons clearly but also the merging of artwork creates a sense of disconnection.

Following the same process I did this for the rest of my collection of collages to maintain consistency.

Again I followed the same process for this again.

Overall I felt the designs came together really well, after a lot of developments I think these images showcase the standardisartion within the music industry through music.
