Nikki Black

Other than looking at Gillian Wearing i had a little look at Nikki Black. I know that Nikki's images aren't people holding signs, but her work consists of text. Nikki's work is more gothic and dark compared to Gillian's work.

Nikki's work inspired me because his backgrounds are mostly black or white and are taken in the studio.

 I like this image because the background has white and black in it, but it's not distracting at all. I love the contrast of it. I think the spotty tone draws the eyes in to the text on the girls tops. The dark shaded tone in the right hand corner also draws the viewers eye in to the centre of the image.

This image inspired me more because as i want my text to stand out. This image has a model and text, but the text stands out more than the model. The text is bold and has a use of colour. The colours compliment each other and they don't clash at all.
