A day in the life: Outcome

Here are the three outcomes of the brief.

Chugger

My first, and what i feel to be the weakest outcome, the image is just far too crowded and can also give completely the wrong message, sure when paired with the article you can tell what is being said, but without that, you would probably thing the image would be about war and oil and stuff of that nature. Now, that being said, the image does have its strengths, i feel that the image is the best response to the article in terms of tone of voice. The article is serious stuff, and doesn't want you to take the idea seriously. Now whilst i do prefer the other results, they do play with the idea in a jokey way, rather than straight up try to show and represent the article entirely, like i tried to with this image. I also quite like the colour, its dreary and aids the serious tone. If i were to create the image again, i would probably have experimented more with the gas effect, feeling that the line work in the outcome is just far too crowded.

The Inflated Issue

This second image, showing David Cameron showing off his inflated issue of ISIS, is an outcome i am pleased with. Every person that i shown the image to seem to have immediately understood the message, and also appreciated the aesthetics of the piece. I personally, an quite happy with the application of watercolour, giving myself a bit of a confidence boost with the medium. Sure, its no masterful use, but its a step in the right direction. There are issues though, as i am unhappy with the white space, feeling that maybe a lighter wash of blue would have benefitted the space, regardless, a good outcome in my books.

Danger Mouse

My favourite outcome, the piece that plays with the title of the article. I am super happy with this outcome because it is both crowded and easy to read at the same time, feeling like a result of the trials, successes and mistakes of the two prior outcomes, also i got to draw a nintendo 64, everything's coming up Mi... Moore. I only really have one minor issue, the inclusion of the David Cameron making sweet love to a pig scandal. A trivial, pretty much non existent issue that was spread through social media this year, its not really a noteworthy issue, and i should have found a better problem to include, like something to do with war, yes, thats it, if i were to create the outcome again, id include war rather than piggate.
