I was really struggling with starting to make initial imagery for this project. I had so many visual based initial ideas - but was struggling with where to start. Within my practise, something I really enjoy and am confident in is image manipulation and working physically. I decided to take some of my found imagery and begin applying gradients maps/ layer blend modes/ filters etc. to create effects inspired by the first image. I really like the ones that have a chrome effect like the yellow and pink/ green images as I think that this visually communicates the visual identity that already surrounds the techno genre.
Once I was happy with these edits I printed them out and began working physically. My initial idea was to cut out shapes based on the music of the genre that I was listening to - so lots of sharp, angular shapes. These were really quick experiments but I like the direction that I'm going in so far. I want to create some mixed media collages with these images.
