Mimmo Rotella style pictures

Inspiration for this task came from Mimmo Rotella. His work was very intriguing and gave me a great starting point for my pictures as I could create the film poster in the way that he has. Mimmo Rotella was an Italian artist who exibited much of his work around the world and if very famous in art and photography today.

This task was fun as I had no restrictions in what I was doing. It was purely a 'have a go' task for me in the beginning and I later developed the image to create what I have created now. Throughout the task I tried to keep in the style of Mimmo Rotella by referring back to his pictures to help me create my pieces. His work was very inspiring as it helped me to get a starting point for my pictures
The first picture was my attempt of using film posters to create an overview of the top films of the year within the Mimmo Rotella style. I think this worked well and I quite like the picture and how it has turned out. The second picture was supposed to tell more of a story. Perhaps the story of a boy going to an ice cream machine and receiving a really big sundae rather than the conventional cone. I used photoshop to create these images and used layers to concoct the different rips in the posters to create one picture, I also used the use off the lasso tool to pick the parts that i wanted to delete as well as using the magic wand tool to select places of the same colour and tone to delete to make the picture more tasteful and without to much of the same colour, finally I used the rubbing out tool to take out some extra areas I didn't want. I am happy with how both posters turned out however I think I could have made them a bit cleaner and as if they were not photo shopped.
