Learning Task 9: Poster collage

So I like the concept of this but not the result. I don’t feel like the image is balanced correctly, the characters and sword area should be smaller to give the tree more of an impact, but when I did that it looked worse… The symbolism is also very heavy-handed and the antagonist is practically a walking trope.

There’s also only seven elements, but adding more made the image very cluttered, so I think that was the right choice.

Format wise I went with jpg on the 50 setting. Quality wise png 24 was a little better, but also four times the file size, so for normal non-art related sites this was the better option.

I’m Back!

Partially…

It’s been an annoying few months, what with an inability to breathe and a couple of surgeries (nothing major 🙂 ) but I have returned to the net. Yay?

In other news, I’ve purchased a new monitor. While (whilst?) setting it up it occurred to me that I never really bothered adjusting my old one. I just upped the digital vibrance and had at it… So expect the colours and contrasts of future work to be a tad different (and hopefully better).
