To me, the theme of a visual sequential narrative is to tell a story or explore multiple ideas through one form. My first thought regarding this project was to do something with color and black and white. I thought of the time we are in now and how there's a lot of suffering in the world, so I am attempting to do some sort of time sequence with happier times into harder times.
I really like your image and concept so far! The only thing is I am confused about the purpose of the hands. They are the main focus to me and I cannot tell what role they play in your concept. I think either placing them behind the figures or making them less prominent would help. But asides from that, I love the idea of going from color to grey representing the world right now.
ReplyDeleteI really like your idea and the hands- how did you do that? But yea I agree with Abigail- they are really pretty and well done but just not sure how they tie with your idea
ReplyDeleteI really like the concept of this and the hands are probably my favorite part of this since they are so beautifully done. The color fade I think is nice and does help get the point across but right now it does definitely feel like the hands and the figures are fighting as to who gets to be the main focal point. The way the hands are positioned it feels to me like a reaching out for people we miss or asking for help during a hard time so I get how they fit in with the concept or at least that's what I get from it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what others have said about the hands. I do think that the black and white/color aspect is an easy was to convey a narrative progression pretty well.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it would be possible to make a gradient going from color to black and white, I feel like a smoother transition would help convey that narrative progression. Really cool idea you have here, and the hands are beautifully done.
ReplyDeleteI like the imagery and the concept behind your narrative. I feel as if you can mess around with the filters and make smooth transactions that blend throughout the image.
ReplyDeleteMany people have said stuff about the hands and i agree with them. It feels like the are just placed they when it comes to your concept. in order to fix this i think you need the two hands to be interacting with each other maybe outstretching to touch each other. Other than that i think is well done.

ReplyDeleteYour hand illustration is beautiful, I love your use of texture to emphasize them. I do however wish the color section was more blended into black and whites section. I think it would help the flow of your narrative.
