final image
I finally decided on a final image, using all of my favourite aspects of my previous attempts.
I found the original colour version of the image I wanted to use previously and used the idea of the wifi waves, bleached eyes, televisions with sexy images, lyrics and the 18 tattoo to create this:

I found this image of the girl lying down and once again use the lyrics as a dress, I created a bigger cleavage to give it a sexier feel and positioned her on a pile of old televisions. I chose to do this because I felt that using just music didn't have as big an impact as I'd hoped and realised that televesion is as responsible for over-sexualising the women in the music industry as the lyricists. My plan was to add sexy images onto the televisions and continue the brainwashing idea but I wasn't as happy with the model's position in the image and decided to try again.
lyrics continued
Here I used another of my own images and after some feedback of the lyrics not seeming to connect to the model, I chose to edit the image so that she would be wearing the song words. I decided to add the 18 logo onto her skin as a tattoo to suggest that she had been affected by the music and it had become a lifestyle for her now. I used the brainwashing idea again by whitening out her eyes but instead of wires I used the wifi waves around her head.
The image is black and white because I only had access to the black and white version of the original image of the girl and so I made the whole image greyscale. I like it but I think it looks too classy for the message I'm trying to portray and so will try a colour version when I get access to the original image at home.
lyrics.
The last image I didn't think challenged my abilities enough and I felt it wasn't as outspoken as my chosen artist's style, and so using one of my own images, I created a new bright and eye catching collage.
I gave the image a pink background and posterised it to make it seem a bit more surreal like La Chapelle's images, I then added type to the image (lyrics from a Rihanna song) and also added wires to the model's head to give the idea of her being plugged into the music and being brainwashed. I also whitened her eyes to give more of the brainwashed idea:

Music
My stance on this cyborg project is through music and the way women are used objectively and so I created this image to make the point of the female body being over sexualised and how some of these women themselves have no real recognition.
This is my first attempt at collage
My plan was to use David La Chapelle as inspiration but rather than using lots of props I would use photoshop to create collages.
My first attempt didn't go too well but it had some potential to develop my ideas further.
I found the raunchiest image I could find of Rihanna and then cut and pasted images of her fans over the image to show how young her audience is and how impressionable they would be to her behaviour, lyrics and dress sense.
