Idea #1 redone

I decided to go on with my idea of before and after scenarios starting with
my idea one image of the snowy mountains and skiers. By simplifying the design and story, happy thanksgiving!!!
I can definitely see this developing more carl. I like the futuristic effect you out on the image and the clear separation of the bad from the good. Colors make a huge difference so you made that clear here. My only worry is that you can see the before picture way more clearly then the after. If you made that more define It'd be perfect.
Carl – I’m not sure your message is clear, even with the words Before and After. In fact, I really want you to create the artwork in a way that means you don’t have to use the words. It throws us off, really. So – I’m going to suggest that you look back over your work and see that using a portrait of someone looking worried or confused is a good idea. It shows your target audience, and gives us the idea that what you are offering is something a person would need when faced with a problem. That is the first thing to decide – use a large sized portrait in the ad: A face that we want to understand, help, and/or figure out. I think I sent you a selection of them, right?
As I think this out, for each of the 3 images you need to create, it seems like you will have a composite made of (at least) 3 images: The realistic face of a potential target audience member, and 2 scenarios… before (falling down skier) and after (happy skier).
Yes, using a color contrast will help us see them very differently. And also, using special effects (posterization, etc) will help us differentiate the “idea” of good and bad events with the big realistic face.
Does this make sense? I think you have already started down this road, but without a clear intention about when and how to use these contrasts. And I’m worried that you have dropped the large face in your compositions. You need it!
Please think about the top portion of the ad, and incorporate your logo with the heading “Designing the Future… for You”. I think the logo will need to be much smaller.
I like the idea and the way you tie them together, the shape at the top helps unite them, for sure. The concept is certainly clear but I wonder the same thing is there a way to make the after stand out more or perhaps simply swap places? We read top to bottom therefore would see the after first, or may be just make it stand out a little more because that would make it out of order. Good work looks like what it is supposed to.

ReplyDeleteYou're getting very close to completion, well done. Though the climbers in the first image are kind of hard to see.
