Negotiated Brief - 'Rich and Famous'

Lady Gaga - The Fame
'Doin' it for the
Fame (fame!)
Cuz we wanna live the life of the rich and famous'

My intention for this first idea was to use the same technique as the moving image brief; cut it out of black card and photograph on a lightbox, but my lightbox isn't as powerful as I thought so it didn't really have the intented effect...


So I moved on...

For this, I wanted to make it look kind of like a cheesy logo.




Once I had vectorised my hand drawn piece, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it.
I wanted it to look cheesy and expensive...so kind of 'tacky' but again, wasn't sure how I could do that. Then I saw one of those horrible ringtone adverts '£4.50 a week for bla bla on your phone!' and there was gold 'Bling' or something on the ad, so I thought 'Well...they made the text look gold so maybe I could?'

I then found a tutorial on how to do it and I'm surprisingly with the end result. Nice and tacky.
(Note the added sparkles for the extra wow factor lol.)








Below is the final piece, the glow in the background hasn't shown up on the final print...not sure why.
