This led me to an artist called Giamoco Carmagnola, an italian graphic designer. Initially, the concept of the project was hard to establish - I found Carmagnola through researching self portraits in graphic design; and when approaching the source (a tumblr blog) he'd posted it on, there was no clear explanation behind the art work and what it represented.
Based more around photography work than graphic design, I loved the concept behind the work; "create the Glitch Art works that represents the fragility of our time." - I interpreted the piece in relation to my project, particularly the way the face is "caved" in using geometric lines, quite similar to the glitch style of research I also looked at. Although the intention behind the piece is completely different to what I interpreted at, I love the style as it's hyper-realistic by using photography and it looks like the face is almost carved out.
My response was trying to relate back to the brief, I didn't want to stray too far into photography or make it over realistic, but I liked the implied implication of a broken face and sort of the digital, geometric lines over taking parts of you. I chose my base image of a fox again and tried to mimic the work in my own style. The piece was more meant to be free-flowing and nothing too serious, I spent less than 10 minutes on it, but like the contrast between the digital and more 'painted', 'flowy' side of the fox. This would also be my first way of mixing the two styles together from my previous research. I liked the effect overall and wanted to explore this further.
