For Fun ~ Full Bloom


The reference image/poses I have used for my For Fun and Full Bloom posters is a photograph by Nick Knight. I came across this image while doing research for Assessment 1 however, I decided not to use this image because I wanted to explore something different for that Assessment. I have used it for Assessment 2 though!

For Fun:
The figure on the left hand side, I thought was appropriate but it was playful and whimsical.
I liked the idea that it had no head...and the image actually looks like fairy floss! But I wanted to explore the idea of the figure's head being covered up by this wig. There is that saying "feet on the ground, head in the sky" and I like the idea that when our head is in the sky, we are free to imagine and think of crazy fun things! So that is where I started for this poster!

Full Bloom:
The figure on the right hand side is quite elegant and unusual. It appears that the model is wearing a voluminous skirt...maybe upside down. When I saw it, I immediately thought of this model rising out of a flower...and the model itself captures the "full bloom" essence! I used the skirt as a reference and created it to make it look like the model was elegantly and naturally "blooming" out of this flower! Hehehe
