To finnish off, i experimented with the Bluring effect, the one above being LENS BLUR. This leaves a white contrast ontop of the undertone, which adds more depth to the colours . I then elaborated with the noise tool to give it a more static texture. Lastly i added typeography then blended it in using the opacity. This leaves a more thorough visual.

I then applyed the colour burn effect which is a more sharper, brighter tone, baring in mind i've played around with the opacity aswell.
To start off i've applyed a colour so that it give a more bolder visual. The rich colour contrasts with the negative space therefore making it look more quircky. i've then blended it throught the normal style.


As the anatomy is relevent to my NIP TUK project i've began to experiment with the graphics side through applying effects using photoshop. I've looked at X-RAYS to maybe inform my ideas.

Biography
Orlan is the radical French artist responsible for the Carnal Art movement, which seeks to open the debate about surgical body modification in an advanced consumer capitalist society obsessed with unattainable beauty standards. Since her first piece, entitled Operation, Orlan has been using her own body as a medium by undergoing a series of plastic surgeries staged as performance art. Her ongoing evolution is aimed at transforming her body based on classical beauty ideals from the history of Western art, along with images created from her own imagination and software. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide







Adnan:
I've started off with looking at the works of Orlan to gain visual references about the human anatomy which could possibly help me with my POS UNIT. Shapes and forms of the human body could inform my ideas and inspiration. This will obviously have some reflection on cosmetics as the body links to it. Therefore i find my research relevant.
