I knew I needed to use more colour in my work but wasn't sure how. I'm not great with paint/ colouring and finding a visually pleasing 'composition' of colours. In my pitch, I wrote that I liked the composition of bookshelves. I took photos of my bookshelf as well as the shelves in a few bookshops. An element of postmodernism is looking at the same thing in a different way (I think I wrote this in my proposal). So, I put the photos on photoshop and added a 'cutout' effect to them. I edited each one with the sliders because I wanted to exploit the colours that the bookshelves created.
For the next set, I added an additional effect called 'extrude - pyramids':
Overall, I was quite happy with the results. Each bookshelf has it's own unique colour composition and the sliders really help to exaggerate/play down the effect; some still look like bookshelves whilst one or two just look like shards of coloured glass. Though I don't have a photo to corroborate the point, some of them remind me of Zaha Hadid's planning work; she does them on the computer and they often look like shards of coloured glass. The angular edges are also reminiscent of Daniel Libeskind's designs:
