Colourful Compositions!

Here is a selection of some of the images I have created so far.

I created the silhouettes by filling in the people's photographs from the family images with various colours using Adobe Photoshop and converted them into vectors to make the outlines smoother.  I based the colours on my own knowledge of colour coordination by constantly thinking about how people colour coordinate their own clothing which I think has worked really well in terms of my images.

In total I created 6 of these images all which include the geometric square lines that were inspired by the shapes on the figures shirt on the original image and I thought that it would compliment the images which I think it has.  Also in these images I have included the addition of Roman Numeral as they work well with the shapes and they also represent various numbers to do with particular persons life.

These 2 images have Hindi symbols incorportated within the image.  I chose them because I liked their combination of straight lines, right angles and also the curves of the 'O' and 'U' shapes within them.  They presented me with a few ideas on how to present them within the image and I have created a series of 10 with them.  These are just a sample of them.

In this image on the left, I have used the Arabic symbol for 'M' which is the first inital of the person in the image's name 'Mohammed'.  I created a variety of these images and also included the 'M' from the Phonecian alphabet as it was the Phonecian alphabet which became the bedrock for many writing systems including Arabic.
