In this piece Banksy has used stencils and spray paints to create a political message targeted at the Americans. In this image Banksy has created a warning sign a lot like the ones you would see at the side of the road to warn people. However instead of speed restrictions or a zebra crossing Banksy is warning people about the Americans. The image within the warning circle features a helicopter chasing some people and the text below states 'Americans Working Ahead'. Clearly Banksy has used the image of the helicopter and the slogan to promote the popular opinion that Americans are 'war machines'. Finally, Banksy is using this piece to promote a popular political opinion by warning people about the Americans 'working'. 

In this piece Banksy has predominately used spray paints to create a layered image. Banksy has created a comical image as originally he has used white and black spray paints to design a large scale cute rabbit that is smiling. However Banksy has also used pink spray paints to create a second layer on top of the rabbit, this second layer is a t-shirt that says thug for life and this slogan is usually associated with gangsters. This idea of a gangster is promoted by the third layer on the image which is a gold necklace, two rings on his paws and a cigar in his paw. 

In this piece David Carson has created an advertisement for Mazda. The purpose of this advertisement is to promote the fact that Mazda's feature Bose sound systems and clearly this is a good reason to buy a new Mazda. Carson has made the text in this image much larger than the image of the Mazda in the bottom corner in order to promote the importance of these Bose sound systems. 

In this piece Carson has hand drawn the text and then scanned it into the image, I like how he has combined traditional art with the text and more modern art in Photoshop in order to design this advert for an Andy Warhol gallery. Carson has created the quote in the bottom left with Photoshop and he has also copied the image into the document, Therefore, by combining the computer generated text, the image in the document and the text that has been scanned in David Carson has managed to create an advertisement for an Andy Warhol gallery. 

Who Dunnit T- shirt design

This is my Who Dunnit T-Shirt design. As you can see these two designs are different even though both designs are inspired by the same idea. The design above this text was mainly created for the screen printing process, that is why the design above uses two main colours and that is why it is a perfect design for the screen printing process. 

The T-Shirt design below was originally created to put on a t-shirt. Because this design uses a number of different colours to make up the image that will make it more complex for me to put it onto a t-shirt. I was originally inspired by the old Who Dunnit dramas in the 1970s as the victim in these dramas were usually presented lying in a pool of blood as this adds drama to the scene.
