FIRST IDEAS/EXPERIMENTING




For my first piece of work to help experiment with different techniques, I began by typing the words "NIP/TUK" into the google search engine, where I came across the image shown of the relevant advert used for the tv programme.
I liked the shape of the woman in this advert displaying her bent figure.- I think that this is an interesting angle in which the silhouette shape could be used to insert “incision lines” into.

I started by tracing around this figure and then rotating the body at different angles.- I think that this layout is quite clean cut and precise. The plain white background does not detract the eye from the centred female form. The text written clearly identifies what the book would be about, however the silhouette shapes of the woman do not give much away to the viewer. The red blood drips from the scalpel add almost a gruesome twist against these block silhouette shapes.

I think this type of layout would suit a factual based book written about cosmetic surgery. The image on the front is not a real photograph however there is some precision to it and intersecting lines.
