The starting texture taken from a fabric in a near by art shop window.A flowery image.

The starting picture taken for my idea.

(Kindly modelled by a classmate)

Then the chosen background colour was added

 First finished idea using artist and video shown below:

For this first idea i used a background pattern that was found in art(this links into art through the textiles route).The flowers are also a favourite of the student who allowed me to take the picture.
The face was very simply overplayed with the texture and the needed hair was rubbed out to make the image a little smoother.This image had to steps to it but  i didn't know if going without the background would make it to simple.As you can see drips were added to give the image a pealed or paint effect.
Here is the final image with the union Jack and Art and design font on the bottom:

*Artist fly dye;she's bad taken from a music video
i could not find a direct link to the artist but found other images from the music video

this artist automatically struck me as good because i loved the simplicity.

i want to continue making other posters with this style.

I feel like it is obvious that this was my most worked on and favorite image without a doubt and would have loved to do a full series of these styles (but having to do one by hand became a little more challenging)
