Three's a Crowd

Sherrie Levine


Ive never been a lover of photographic art

Gerhard Richter 


 I dont know what it is about this guys style but his images seem really creepy, he blurs them ever so slightly in the eyes and notable features, almost taking away the part that makes them feel human. Its really cool but i can imagine its quite difficult to pull off.

Carry on Typing

Curse of Monkey Island - Soon, I'll use this voodoo cannonball to send my significant other to the significant OTHERWORLD! Bwa, ha, ha. That'll show her how much I truly care.
This is a classic game, and i really enjoyed playing it as a child. I cant say im too keen on the quote though, a really long and hilarious game and its one of the weakest quotes in it. It could be really interesting to twist this quote though and mix it with a wierd art style.

Duke Nukem - It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum and I'm all out of gum.
A badass game with a badass character. This makes me think of a really action guy style. The quote and the game are so iconic in video games.

Interstate '76 
Skeeter: "I fixed it up just like you wanted"
Groove: "Thanks." 
Skeeter: "Jade built a good car, but she got out."
Groove: "What?"
Skeeter: "Never get out of the car."
This is by far my least favourite quote, something about it really irritates me, i think its the fact that its a speech segment and probably because the characters sound like a bunch of hillbillys. Im pretty sure this isnt the quote im going to pick.

Lets start at the Beginning - Initial Thoughts

My first look at the brief has given me quite a few ideas for varying topics from the chosen categories firstly I'm going to do a brief run through of the pros and cons of each starting with the title quotes. These are purely initial first thoughts.

Baldurs Gate ~ It may be a touch unlady-like but I'm gonna crush you i am.
This could take many forms, baldurs gate is an old fantasy rpg and the first thing that springs to mind is a female dwarf or some sort of giant. Even a warrior of sorts but the fact would remain it is a female character. This quote Doesnt really jump out at me too much, it could pose quite a humerous image but i feel the other quotes are more to my liking.

Rampage: Universal Tour ~ Alien News Anchor: Our cities lie in ruin, but this is only a temporary setback! We will not be denied! We will--AGGHHH!
I played this game years ago on an old Atari pixelated monsters rain havoc on a city. The quote could provide a really dynamic scene dependant on the art style, i quite like this but i feel its quite constraining.


Half-Life ~ Don't Shoot! I'm with the science team!
This is personally my favourite quote, its from my childhood favourite game and it is so fantastically open ended, the only information you can aquire from it is someone is trying to shoot someone else. Half life itself was set in a diverse universe so alot can be taken from the background. This is the quote i feel at the moment im going to run with.
