Timeline continued...

As I was researching pictures of Amy, some pictures came to my attention more than others, pictures that the media had become involved in. I looked at how the media had presented these images, how they had put their own input on them and destroyed her as a person, they pointed out all the bad points of the image and completely disgraced this musical legend. This is a prime example of how the media take advantage of somebody falling apart and make a totally negative image of the girl, almost taunting her.

Amy Winehouse's timeline.

As I have researched Amy Winehouse and come to more of an understanding on how her life is, I began to look at pictures of Amy. I wanted to look at it from both angles, look at the good and the bad pictures. Just by research and looking at photographs of this girl I could see myself how her life was going downhill. These images show the young, extremely talented artist in her prime. I then went onto looking at the more negative images of Amy. You can see the difference and how her life was changing just from these still photographs. She begins to loose her self respect, stops taking pride in her appearance, her body language has completely changed, she's lost a lot of weight and begins to look ill. Take a look at these images and see for yourself.

Fading away.

Here I have taken an image of Amy Winehouse and created my own collage using photoshop. As Amy's life began to go downhill because of the effects of the Media, fame, alcohol and drug use, I felt as a public person her life was slowly fading away. I wanted to create an image to express this emoticon in a still picture. I used a picture of Amy when she was in her prime and still looked great as an artist and a person, I used a newspaper print background, and created 7 different images using different effects on each picture. I wanted to get a point across of how Amy was still there, but slowly fading and being taken away by the media and life in general. There is a lot of meaning and thought behind these images. I wanted to create a look of Amy's face still being there but slightly covered by the newspaper print (the media). As I went along with my images I wanted my end result to be just a small piece of Amy's face, still covered by the newspaper print, to show that she is still here with us, but slowly fading away in the darkness of the limelight. I thought these images expressed how we was losing her as an artist, but also as a young human being. I really feel I have got the result and end picture and effect I wanted to get.
