latest Step 7 ideas edited and redone
These are images 1
and 3 redone, took a darker lighting on img3 for added effect to set the tone. Don't hesitate to comment
"Designing the future... for you" works just way to well with your concept. I kind of miss the clock but the pictures are arguably better without the extras. Overall a good design that's really starting to move together.
Carl – you did it, you found the images you need to express your message. Good job! Some suggestions:
1. The first thing I notice is how the colors of #3 are too dark and too saturated to fit into the series. So bring to that scenario exactly what you’ve brought to the other 2 in terms of color control/opacity/blending.
2. Pay more attention to the top of her head – do you remember some of the techniques we use to select hair? Here is a tutorial that will help remind you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0QDp6umxy0
3. Make sure the central figure does not get lost in the composition, it’s the focal point and so its opacity should be higher than the other blended elements around it.
4. Top edge and headline – black type on white background doesn’t do much to integrate the type with the image. Consider looking inside each image and pulling out a color that you can use back there. For instance I would recommend using a mid/dark yellow (from his jacket) in the avalanche scene and drop the type out white. What ever you decide to do, make sure to do a similar approach to them all (so if you type is white on this one, then it needs to be white on them all).
5. Logo placement… what type of balance are you using for this series? Asymmetrical or Symmetrical? I hope you said symmetrical. Which means that your logo placement is throwing off the page balance. I think that the color of the top area should be also used behind the logo, and that the logo should be centered on the page. See what you think.
You are getting close! Post the final 3 images ASAP. Don’t forget the smaller versions as well.
