vis com: first task

we were given a first task to do to introduce us to the new brief. it was to pick a famous person and recreate a poster about them without using their face. i really got stuck into this task and was quite excited. i really like the idea of doing something which will symbolise the person instead of being the person. 

the first person i did was donald trump. it was a little bit of a joke (as you can see.. he's a penis) because i thought of the idea and although normally my work is 'cute' and stuff i thought i'd push the boat out and do something quite satirical and political. 

i then liked my tom hanks idea, as he is very famous for his role as woody the cowboy, the famous line 'there's a snake in my boot'. i think this really represents him in a really simplistic way.

 

this is the tom hanks poster. i thought i would try out cut paper for this one as i thought it was interesting to try something i dont normally do and i wanted really simple block shapes and nothing too complicated. this one didn't take me ages so i thought i would do the donald trump one as well.

i did this poster using watercolours. i think it came out really hilarious and got quite a lot of funny comments from my peers who all seemed to really like it. it was fun for me to try something different and be funny in my art as well as stating opinions on political matters.
