Planning - The Pollock Generator


 

https://mpetroff.net/files/processing/backgroundgenerator/

For my promotional poster I initially intended to edit in an existing Pollock painting in the background of the poster itself, but with the opacity slider all the way down. However, this proved problematic as the exam board states that students must only use their own creations and images in the creation process, thus preventing me from using Pollock's 'Convergence'. One option would be for me to either create a Pollock painting myself or have someone else do it, however I saw this option as too tedious and time-consuming. I then discovered this website which allows one to create their own Pollock piece digitally.



I feel as if the version on the left is a big improvement on my first draft through the removal of the Pollock-made piece; furthermore, I believe the version I created has a much more modern/contemporary look to it, matching well with the idea that the new album is a comeback album. Additionally, the use of yellow is effective as not only does it link to the lemon imagery; but also creates a sense of synergy with the yellow hue overlays I use on the music video itself. Overall, I felt as if the issue of not being able to use a Pollock original was easy to overcome with the generator, with it even coming out better than the first draft.
