I think those are very good designs. The color is very attractive. Good combination with the brushes and the lady figure. Did you take the picture yourself? I am just curious. She is very pretty.
Ed has has compositional skill, some color acumen, and a command of Photoshop shock n’ awe. That said, these images still could be improved. In the top image, the red dress against pea soup colored letters is simply unpleasant. And, the diagonal color bars compete with the metallic explosion and vortex swirls–like a bunch of anxious children. The break between the crossbar and the body of the “E” adds to the cacophony of visual noise. Coco Chanel said that the well-dressed woman always removes one accessory before leaving the house. Sometimes less really is more. This composition would be infinitely improved if the “TYPE” and the diagonal color bars were removed. Then the swirling vortex lines could quietly work their magic, and the metallic exploding shape could tastefully draw attention to the fact that it echoes the pleats in the bow at her chest.
The inkblot symmetrical composition trend has been tired for at least 3 years now. The expiration date for it is bound to be approaching. Ditto for the faux dripping paint. And the 1970’s Mork and Mindy colorscheme. I feel bad for the model and for the arch trapped in that image.
But, things are definitely improving with the third image. Yeacch! I just noticed the wings! Will pretend I didn’t see that. And pretend her elbow isn’t sloppily cut off…Because the rest of it is stunning! The floral bondage combined with the 3D perspective ‘road markings’ is peculiar–and worthy of rubbernecking! Don’t cause a wreck!
The fourth image cleverly combines black and white photography with psychedelic highjinks. The star puts one foot forward, breaking the “third wall”. What would have been another cookie cutter inkblot symmetrical composition turns out not to be after all. There’s enough substance here to balance out the wacky silliness, and allow even people-who-live-in-their-heads to relax and enjoy something as dumb as fashion.
The last image unfortunately regresses towards the everything-but-the-kitchen-sink Obsessive Compulsive Decorativeness But if the nonsensically ordered words were removed, then the foreground swirls could ‘breathe’, and the green what’s-it might see the error of its ways and slink away. Then the model could hula-hoop and salute to our hears content.
so for what magazine you work for? I don’t see any problem with your designs the only thing is that the wig of the girl with white dress looks very dark and unreal. If you make it shiny it will look better. lol
high class eye candy. bottom 3 are strongest.
