More from Monday's crit...

So...I have a million ideas running throught my head about what to do for some of my other post cards thanks to my lovely classmates :) Here are my thoughts:

*For "twenty" I am not using the picture of the girl. I still want to create a montage but I want to use all type for this postcard. I want to have the number twenty as my main focus. The number will be created with quotes, words, sayings, thoughts, events, etc. of a twenty year old female. I found a tutorial on how to create something like this which I will post shortly :)

*For "gear" I originally had a picture of barbie that had arrows pointing to various parts of her body labeling her "gears." The idea behind this was to show how women's bodies are seen as objects or tools. This triggered the idea of comparing the woman's body to a car (two things that men are both obsessed with). Instead of labeling a woman's body I have decided to actually put the parts of the car onto the body. I believe this would be considered a montage. I am having trouble creating this though because so far what I have looks like I have just cut and pasted everything. I want the parts to look more realistic and actually curve to the body.

* I will post another tutorial along with the other one on how to create a desk environment. This is going to be for my "john" postcard. What I have now isn't bad, but I want to add more to it and this tutorial will really help out with that.

* I was given the idea to use barbie throughout some of my postcards instead of just on one of them. I plan on using barbie for "facade" but I'm not exactly sure how I want to create it yet. Thats something to be looking for on future posts....
