“What is Creative Mondays?
Monday’s are always a drag. The start of a new week, you have to go back to that routine of going to bed early/get up early. If (like me) you have to commute then you prepare for that long journey into work and that long journey back for the first time after a nice two day break.
So to kick off those lousy Mondays, I’m going to get my creative mind flowing in a positive way. Creative Mondays. A chance for me to show off something unfinished or finished that I’ve been working on throughout the previous week.”
Every now and then I like to try and design something that involves a contemporary theme. There were a few underlying themes with this piece. I suppose the more cryptic being the NSA and the companies that it’s been working with to find out “information” about people and to a broader extent the increase in security cameras, mobile phone cameras and devices such as Google Glass. There is a sense that there’s a lot going on that we don’t know about (let’s not get too ‘Conspiracy Theorist’ at this time) and privacy seems to be something that is changing almost daily. Cameras are catching everything, more importantly WE are capturing everything and it will be interesting to see where this leads us in the future.
This piece was created entirely within Photoshop CS6 with a background stock image I used from the CGTextures site.
