Opie Task

This is my Opie I made using PhotoShop with inspiration taken from the blur album cover. 

The artwork was created by Julian Opie, which the art is named after.

Evaluation of task

As I am not very familiar with PhotoShop software and have never used it properly I definitely found this task a challenge. At first I found getting used to the basics of the software very difficult and made a few mistakes, but gradually the program became easier to use and I got the hang of it. Overall I think my Opie was a success, however I would have liked to improve the right side of the hair and some facial features.

Summary of a genre

What is a genre?
A genre is another term for a certain category under forms of art or entertainment (e.g. books, music, film etc). They usually have their own conventions and follow certain criteria, and are often split up into sub-genres to give more detail and description. Examples of music genres are Rock, Indie, Dance and R&B. Rock music will stereotypically contain live performances and instruments, whereas dance may contain flashing lights, a club/disco setting and eye-catching costume choices.
