Alienation

Up until last weekend it had been non-stop with a uni project that had been on going since the end of November that i just came to an end. We were set to work on a make-up and hair orientated project, styling a supposed four-piece rock band for a magazine of our choice with the title being Alienation. The theme being that the styling had to be our take on alienation, what it meant in our view and put into the context of a four page photoshoot, a page for each fictional band member, but only proceeding to photoshoots with two of our four final ideas. The idea being that we had to get creative and look at how musicians portray themselves in order to create their own persona and differentiate themselves from others.




I had originally thought this project was perfect for me as i think of myself as someone who tends to think out of the box but found that my initial concepts were way too graphics based and would have been difficult to translate to a make-up look. As a result i had a lot more work to do towards the end of the project with changing things around and toning down my looks slightly.


The final concepts that i ended up using were based on the ideas of optical illusions and the way they can create confusion with yourself and the other look being based on Andy Warhol and his alienation of art through mass production of images.


I think that after the amount of editing i had to do with my original concepts the final looks i achieved were pretty good. I had two models that were perfect for the looks i was trying to achieve in the lovely Tasha and Chantel and although i think there could be a few improvements with the photoshop work i did with putting in backgrounds and things, i was pretty pleased to have handed it in on time.





Final shoots.
