A blog created by the students and teacher at Mount Wachusett CC - Graphic and Interactive Design Department for the purposes of sharing and critiquing their artwork as a collaborative project.
The layout of the first image is very smart in my opinion and I think you should keep that no matter what changes you make to it. The only changes I would make to the first image is maybe lightning up the guy and the background a little. The second image seems very blurry in the background. I know it's not supposed to be the focus but maybe you could find a more define photo.
Matt – I think your approach to #1 is really strong, the graphic colored lines give it an abstract feel, something not quite “real” and very interesting. Can you do this to the other composites too? Adding the lines to help direct our eyes also helps the artwork sit really well with the logo, which itself uses these color lines. I suggest, once your have your elements in place, start to have some fun with these lines following the edges of your elements and product.
I’m wondering whether you might be able to create a better space for your logo above, or below, your composite sitting in a black bar. I see the black bars, but they don’t seem to have purpose, yet. Why not use them… for your logo and the heading “Designing the Future…for You” and even a website is you want to include that (make it up). I think moving the logo away from your photo illustration will give you more room and freedom to incorporate other elements and add those great color lines.
I’m worried that the model in #2 is really low res… did we decide it was? It looks pretty pixilated here.
Looks like a good start for sure, the line works well especially with the color in number 2. The second concept I think is the best approach, its not clear that this is an "at home" process in the first one. This is much more clear in the second that this is a do it yourself at home type of item. Good work.
Good color and a great logo that works well with it. not sure how I feel about the background on the first one though. Maybe try something that seems less like movement.

Great work – keep it up.
