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.
Carl – the images are coming together nicely! Some thoughts:
DO OVER Life Insurance Maybe the title should use call caps for the first 2 words.
I’m afraid the blue is dulling the design, and red on blue is creating some unfortunate vibrations. So… why not use the yellow that I see in the first 2 images? That might make more sense.
Logo – it seems like I’m about to ask you to go full circle and use a white box behind the logo. I’m think you may have started out with that and moved away from it (probably on my recommendation). But because of the cut out area that you have made in the curved top edge, it makes sense to allow a white box to sit behind the logo. And, with a lighter color behind the top part of this design, the white box will not be in much contrast to it.
It’s time to look at all 3 of the images as a series, and pull the colors together. The more successful color is seen in #2. I suggest you change the other 2 to more closely resemble this one. It means that #1 needs to be more highly saturated in spots and the yellow needs to be more vibrant. #3 doesn’t have any yellow… and it is very dull in comparison to the others. So pull some yellow into this one (colorize her dress?). In the end, color is often what unites a set of images into a series.
#3 – Why not enlarge her face to fill more of the composition - closer in size to #1? There is emptiness above her head that could be better used for her image.
Nice work Carl…these last changes will make this series really successful.
