King & Pawn

SHCG: Awesome! Love the color and textures. The butterfly and the peacock feather. So much visual appeal. I think I am loving the quote most of all. Great work!

SHCG - Very cool, Wendy! Love the quote & all the techniques you utilized. Great thoughtful photo choice. Could visualize the pic more off-center to use negative space more dramatically but that's a tiny thing, this is marvelous as is.

SHCG: Really nice deep jewel tones on this page. I'm really curious about the premise behind you choosing to do an art page with this quote. In your picture, you seem apprehensive and when you add that to the quote and the beautiful mess you created, there's a tension that's expressed. Was that your intention? If so, I have a suggestion about the title. I'd like to see "the" placed right next to KING (where the sequin is next to the K right now, and maybe in mini alphas), then "and the" (also in mini alphas) right next to the bottom right of the G, and PAWN moved right under KING, letter for letter, but in an opposing color. Maybe, black and white will do, or red and black. This will create more tension between the two words while emphasizing that they're sharing the same space. I'd like to see the first part of the quote against your frame with "the KING and the PAWN" in the space right of the photo, while the last part of the quote gets moved to the bottom, under the filmstrip and right of the square trail. Perhaps the other gold square trail can be right of the first part of the quote above your photo, to balance the one at the bottom. Right now it leads off the page in the opposite direction of where your photo is facing. I hope all of that makes sense for just one suggestion about moving your title. I love the peacock feather, butterfly, and sequins strewn throughout. Strong work, Wendy.

shcg - wow. I love the quote on this. This is extremely different from what I'm used to from you, and so it surprises me and I'm not quite sure what to think of it entirely. Is that a peacock feather I see? I think the techniques you used are very cool and nifty in their combination. The colors are extremely vibrant.
