Experiments: photos & vinyl


I keep on coming back at these photos. Today playing with vinyl cut and stuck on top of a print. The feeling of the mat vinyl on top of the glossy paper has some really nice qualities. I don't really know what I want to do with these photos but it is an interesting process.

you can see previous posts about them here and here

This is really interesting and I was aware of these (great) covers but somehow had forgotten about them. I don't know if I subconsciously was trying to copy them but I guess I am looking at something else except just the aesthetics of a coloured surface on a photo.

great similarities though and thanks for pointing this out.

Some feedback would be interesting or maybe I should just assume you think it is just a copy of the original artwork you pointed me to?

it' s so good that you still experiment with real materials. keep the frequency clear!

heh, thanx. Thank you for the comments in general. It's good to know that someone IS looking at these things.
I don't know if you still have the impression that they are stolen but don't know how I could prove the opposite.
Afterall I think is where you get with some ideas and how far you expand them. If the starting point is the end of something else, I don't see anything wrong with that.

As for the real materials, I think is great joy to take our eyes of screen every now and then. back to basics I guess..

come again ;)

there is not such thing as parthenogenesis.

as grafik designers (modern koptoraptoudes) we have to look around for inspiration and patterns.
