Monty Python posters


These posters were a spontaneous assignment brief used to develop our skills in photoshop. We began by researching into 'Monty Python' and their designs and how weird and funny some of them are. I got ideas from this such as using the head of a human and the body of an animal, however the head I used was of a famous person, in this one I used the comedian Rowan Atkinson also known as "Mr Bean" this meant getting the tones of his face to the body correctly and this lead the photo to be even more abstract and strange. For the body I used a hairless cat as I find them disturbing and creepy so I knew this would create a strange effect of the viewer. The text for the posters is from Dave, he wanted us to enlarge the words that stood out the most and the ones we felt needed to be bigger and bolder.



Although creating the first poster I found the second one even more enjoyable as I had done even more research and had chosen a better famous person e.g Miley Cyrus. I chose a photo of her with her tongue out and a huge mouth I then photoshopped it onto a photo of a kangaroo and made the face blend into the neck so it look slightly more realistic. Then using one of the faces that Dave asked us to work from I simply duplicated it and placed it over the nipples of the kangaroo just to add a little extra humour to the poster. Doing this short assignment had a large impact on me as it has improved my skills in photoshop and developed my humour within my work.
