This is my third attempt of Destroy the Icon, which is based off of her landing in Fortaleza, Brazil. Her last stop before crossing the Atlantic Ocean.
I love all of your iterations of this image, however this one is my favorite. I like how you messed up the composition of the original and placed Amelia in the bottom left rather than the right middle. This helps to solve the copyright issue very well. I also love the textures on this image, with the teals and pinks. The pinks are especially striking due to the accomplishments that she had made as a woman.
I'm liking this composition a lot and I think it creates another layer of "destruction" by further obscuring what the original image is. The blending modes making the subject look ghostly pale works really well here, especially if you wanted to push a theme of the mystery surrounding her death.
Initially I had posted a photo of Audrey Hepburn for my iconic photo for this project. However, we were instructed to visit the library to find an iconic photo within a book there. While I was searching I ran across this photo of Amelia Earhart, which I knew I already owned! This inspired me to change my photo from Audrey Hepburn to Amelia Earhart. Along with this her exact cause of death was for a long time debated, even though the Coast Guard declared she crashed into the Pacific Ocean with her co-pilot during her flight around the world. I think with this Idea I might be able to warp the photo into my own art which wouldn't subject me to copy right.

ReplyDeleteI love the colors you are using in this photo. The textures are great and you can't tell what photo you are using. Your subject looks like a ghost.
