During this self initiated project, I intend to develop further the visual style that I have been working towards over the past few months, through more ambitious experimentation in terms of 3D work, and the appropriateness and range of materials used. Using the influence of sixties psychedelic poster artists such as Alan Aldridge combined with the 3D work of contemporary illustrators like Juan Carlos Federico, I hope to finish with a bold visual language that will stand out from the crowd. I also intend to look again at the way Christian Boltanski uses shadows & silhouettes in his photography – I think this could be a useful reference in trying to create a sense of paranoia.
I want my work to express the insanity and paranoia, and the erratic nature of Hunter S. Thompsons LSD / Mescaline experience, and also the disillusionment felt by the author over the death of the dreams and idealism of the 1960s. Representing the views of both the author and myself, I intend to explore ideas relating to the greed and materialism behind the American dream. Despite the quite dark nature of the book; the bad trip and the hallucinations and paranoia it causes, as well as the authors underlying criticism of American society, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas retains an element of humour in the writing style; something that I would like to come through in my work.
As discussed in my last tutorial I plan to look at incorporating pattern into my work, in terms of creating good designs but also communicating a message. I intend to research the possibilities as to where my work could fit in within the music industry, from the obvious sleeve artwork and merchandise, to growing industries such as designs online for example bands websites.
