Tribal designs

This is a tribal design that i copied onto a models arm. For me I think that the stronger colours such as red, black and green stand out most on the skin. I think that the red stood out most out of the colours I used today, as she already as a tanned skin tone, and I think it really stood out on her skin.

The Wild Kingdom introduction

The Wild Kingdom!!

I'm really excited about this brief of looking at different tribes and then creating two looks which reference this. For this brief we have to achieve four images overall of two different looks to represent the wild kingdom theme. We have to have two headshots and two mid length shots. The first look is a high fashion/ catwalk look. The second is for an editorial campaign, a extreme avante grade look. 

We have been given many different tribes to research and look at and i will be using my blog to document all the research that i have done.

The skeleton tribe

The Skeleton tribe

Another tribe that i found really interesting is the skeleton tribe, located in the western highlands of New Guinea. I like the way that the people in this tribe have completely changed their appearance to look like skeletons. They paint themselves like this to frighten off enemies. I really like the idea of tribes painting themselves to scare others, other than to look 'pretty'.

When looking at the skeleton tribe, it reminded me of the looks the artists had in this music video.
