Project 1 - Gina Khouth
Here's how it originally looked:
Here's an updated version:
I've mainly changed the colors as suggested, in order to give the overall illustration unity. I chose to go with a red color palette to match with the warmth of Jackie's skin tone color, as well as red symbolizes the color of heroism. I tried to do something with the body font, it didn't really changed much, just a change in font and position.
It definitely does feel like Jackie sits within the environment better here. Red was also a good pick because of it's cultural association with China. I noticed that when you changed the colors of the text on the left, you changed where the break in the hues are and I think it makes it feel less united because of that. For example, in the original "people," and "it" are in two different colors to show the break in the sentence, which was a clever way to represent that graphically. You also lose the emphasis that "protecting people" had originally. Maybe consider playing around a bit more with those shades of reds?
ReplyDeleteI like the way you think! Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try it out.
DeleteThe changes in the design are very well done. The pinks and red do give a good unity due to them being close to his skin tone. The blues and lighter colors in the previous one took attention away from Jackie Chan while the new design ensures everything is eye catching and the viewer takes in the design as a whole.
ReplyDeleteI think the color change made it fit even better, the font choice is very fitting, it seems fun while giving advice/lesson.
ReplyDeleteI really like the warm tones, they really do comliment his skin tones. Did you change the background on the right to solid black? Instead of Jackie Chan standing alone in fight position, he's blending. Maybe more contrast on the right side to you don't lose the right side of him.
ReplyDeleteThis could be done, but then taking it one more step by emphasizing the message you want us to take away (Martial Arts is about protecting people). I notice that the paragraph on the right has some grammatical issues - so please print this and I'll make some suggestions at that time.
ReplyDeleteI like how unified the entire image feels. Although maybe you could try casting a shadow or some form of contrast to make Jackie Chan stand out more, and possibly making the words in the paragraph a different font to fit better with the other text usage.
