Artist's Comments

NEED HELP!

Ok, really need some direction on this one but first:

Creative Brief:
For this assignment we're required to do an editorial peice for an article on sunflower phone. This phone, when disposed, blooms into a sunflower. Cool eh? Maybe corny but what the hell.

We're suppose to do editorial illustration for this article representing it's topic. Ofcourse, as obvious, we're going to choose to illustrate a phone blooming into a sunflower.

Creative Solution:
What I did was to do a good and bad side. A 2 page spread of 2 similar images communicating different messages. The first one communicates the impact common cellphones have on the environment. Compared to the other illustration, it's dark and gloomy.

The other illustration communicates a euphoric idea which ofcourse is pushing the margin of reality but that's the idea.

The type is placed in the middle of both illustration which will have an introductory paragraph leading into 2 other pages.

Now, I appreciate all comments and feed back on this. I'm especially bother by the placement of the title, I'm not sure if that works so I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks.

i like how you introduce this artwork.
The idea of the dark/right side is excellent
I don't like the green panel on the right side , you should cut it. :fork:
However nice work :D

the right side looks really nice but I think you should use more elements and shapes on the left side, too. the left side is so empty and on the right part you use so much elements.

it seems to me that the dark side is not balanced with the light side. Could be possible that you position some objects like metal scrap, corroded beams and such in a fashion like the flowers? and why not put an interrogation inbetween the two sides? the side of the interrogation in the black side could have the color in the light side and viceversa. just my opinion.

yea, I thought of the interrogation, I'm working on that. It's pretty hard what I have in mind but I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the input, much appreciated.

The title "cellpowered flower" should be placed somewhere else I think. Perhaps make it flow from the left page onto the right page?
Also would suggest making the "cellpowered" text in another colour other than black. And I also agree with =synthes about the emptiness on the left page

You laugh because I'm different... I laugh cause I just farted! :bucktooth:

yes, i thought the title should be placed on the left going to right with the content. However, I'd need to switch the images around because "cellpowered flower" would have go be on the illustration with the sunflower.

Thanks.
