Visual Literacy: Help

With the feedback I got from my "Crit" session today I have taken that and used it in my image for Help. I think it looks A LOT better because before the background was just very nothing and stuck out a bit much. The only difference with these two images is the lightness wee guy in the middle. I'm not sure which one I prefer yet though.

Visual Literacy: Happy, Final Image

My final image for "Happy" (not that I'm not allowing change). It is very similar to my image in my last post but I made the grungy texture a bit lighter/more visible.

Visual Literacy: Happy

For my word "Happy" I wanted to do something a long the lines of my boxing, as that is something I really enjoy and feel happy when I do it. What I love about it is probably what a lot of people would HATE, and that is the exertion. I love giving it everything I have and that feeling exhaustion afterwards. So I decided that I wanted to an image with a boxer on the left side of the image, fading out and "Blood, sweat & tears" on the right. So for the model to be the boxer, who better than myself! The first two images below are the images of the boxer (first is the raw image and second is after I made it black & white in Photoshop)

These images below are all fairly similar besides the text layout changes in one of them and there is a different grungy texture in the background of each of them. The second one I think is my favourite but I think I will lighten up the grungy texture in the back to make it slightly more visible.

Here are the images I used as reference for the monsters in my image.

Final Ideas for Help

Visual Literacy: Help

Here I have all the silhouettes basically finished, now I just need to add in the eyes and mouths and I should be done with the monsters. That will just leave me with white guy and possibly highlights on the monsters to do.

Visual Literacy: Help

Here I have the initial rough outlines for my digital image for "Help". What I am going for here is a bunch of black creepy silhouettes of monsters all around one white character, in the middle, who is screaming into the air. The eyes and mouths of the silhouettes will be white so that they stand out.
