FMP: Dan Mountford

Dan Mountfords work with photo manipulation is really appealing to me, as I enjoy as a hobby to try out weird and unusual photo manipulations and to see the result. Mountford in his work merges humans and plants to create really interesting visuals that are very futuristic. He also in some of his work uses this dot to dot theme to create different shapes and then joins it with his photography. In response to his work I did just that - I took a few primary photos of people and using some of the primary pictures of plants I collected previously tried to merge and manipulate them together to look as if they were one which I  was pleased with the outcome however when placed in the environment of a poster didn't work as well as I wanted, for me there was just too much going on. I then moved onto his second style, his use of dots, and again with primary pictures taken tried to use the style to create an interesting visual. My outcome to this I think was very successful as it reflected a very iconic and strong atmosphere just looking at the visual alone - which I wanted for my festival. I then choose to further develop the style by adding more to 'the face' and then even had a go at creating a logo in the same  theme which I also liked but didn't think it works as strong as the face alone which is very iconic and slick.
