Changing my design..

Over the last few days I have been thinking about changing my final design for the practical assessments. I have decided that The cheeks on my final design, where I used the contemporary image of the Queen of Hearts make up, didn't look very proffesional and gave the make up a bit of a face painted, childlike, messy look.  I have decided to take my design in a new direction by using my original choice of Elizabethan Portrait and then using this Contemporary make up Image by Alex Box.

The reason I have chosen this image is because in one of my previous practice designs, which I've now decided I prefer, I used straight lines and triangles which I thought gave the design a modern day almost futeristic look. This design interested me becuase it also uses a range of very precise straight lines and triangles which gives it a modern almost robotic look but still contains some Elizabethan style make up with the white face, white lashes and red lips. I also like the way the artwork has been added to make the model appear as though she is wearing an Elizabethan style collar.

My next job is to create a new New Elizabethan face chart using this image for inspiration. I am going to include tringles and straight lines to give the make up a fresh contemprary feel whilst keeping to the colour scheme and light eyemake up  from the Elizabethan portrait.
