Photography, graphic design and illustration all created or manipulated on computer to achieve a distinctive creative expression for the modern age.
JULIE CURTIS
The commercially successful graphic designer branches out with an exhibition of digitally manipulated art on canvas that is inspired by her family and draws on influences such as Saul Bass, MC Escher and Chuck Close.
ANGELINA MOUNSEY
The music photographer airs some of her more personal work about the Southend shooting digitally and taking a documentary approach to her subject, then manipulating the image in Photoshop to achieve an otherworldly view of the local landscape.
GARY JACOBS
Creative director of Limarted Edition, the local illustrator’s work incorporates elements of DJ culture by re-sampling textures, designs, words and his own drawings in Photoshop, Illustrator and Macromedia Freehand. The printing process forms a major part of the work including new technologies such as MetalFX®.
