Subdivision of a Groundsheet Final Images

These are my final images of the four thumbnails that I liked the best. I picked these because I felt they all had a variety in line size and created interesting negative space as well as movement. Some notes I took away from the critique would first of all be that I failed to follow the directions! They were suppose to be 8×10 and mine were 9×12. It actually makes a huge difference! Also on my curved lines image my lines were not very fluid and a little chunky. There were minor problems as well that I was able to fix such as trimming around the edges and erasing smudges.

    I really do like your designs. I don’t know how to explain it but somehow they seem to be in motion. I think you had a good use of positive and negative space and good craftsmanship.

    Greetings mackinley

    I rather enjoy the animated element of your designs. There’s something very comic bookish about them that I like.

    The constant use of thickening “movement lines” is very cool and very well done. I really appreciate all the different thicknesses to the lines as well.

    I agree with the above comment that there’s always an illusion of movement in your designs. I have a fondness for the 4th design. The mix of curved lines juxtaposed against the diagonal lines is unique. Keep up the good work, and check my blog out if you can.

    On top of the agreeing with the idea that the images seem to have an illusion of movement, I like how there’s a fluidity to each that doesn’t make it seem jarring or out of place, despite the fact that you use a lot of different sizes and thickness. It’s hard for me to pick a favorite out of this.
