Lots of people said that this image looked overworked on photoshop and that the plant gets lost in the dark background. This is something that I agree with and always struggle not to do. I definitely need to take a step back once and a while and to stop thinking with my hand. I am going to re edit this image and just set back the city scape and edit out the glue smudges.
Somebody said that my tree man wasn't centred but it looks centred to me so I'm not sure how to respond to do this.
Another person said that my images didn't look like part of a set. This was an interesting point as I got from the brief that they were three totally different illustrations that could potentially illustrate the text. I think that I perhaps misinterpreted the brief. Doing this would have definitely given them more visual impact when presented together. It would have also given me more time to experiment with a particular media or colour scheme.
Someone asked weather I was trying to deliver a message or a narrative? The differentiation between these two ideas is really interesting. I suppose that in all my images there is a strong focus on the narrative of the article. I guess that the tree man image reminds us that we are natural creatures, as much as we try to separate ourselves from nature. However, it doesn't give an opinion or 'message'. It raises a point and allows the viewer the freedom to respond to a narrative. It would have maybe been interesting to have more of a focus on a message rather than the narrative, perhaps even a focus toward my personal opinion.
