Sequential Imagery

This is my entry for sequential imagery. I used the topic of drinking and driving.

I used the image of a wine glass to evoke the 'sexiness' of drinking, and paired it with a Lotus Exige to represent the 'sexiness' of driving. To represent the obvious dangers of combining the two, I used a crashed car that I couldn't identify for anything.

The crashed car is drastically different from the wine glass and Lotus, which both have very smooth and planned lines. The crashed car, on the other hand, is a mangled mess of bent reflective surfaces and bits of machinery poking out of it.

Montage Revision

Above is the original.

Below is the revision.

To summarize the major changes, I lessened the 'scratches' layer, modified the layout to better display each element, reduced visual noise in the background, and changed color balance to better draw attention to the foreground.

Book Cover - Snow Crash

 

Above is the cover from the edition that I own myself.

Below is my version, which I feel more accurately captures the themes in the book.

Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson is a cyberpunk novel that takes the reader through worlds in both cyberspace and meatspace. I designed my cover to emphasize the digital feel of the novel and give it a strong visual pull.

I selected these specific colors because they draw attention to the book, even when just the spine is showing.

Poster - LGBT Rights

This is a pretty obvious parody of the Olympic Rings, and "Dare to Dream" is actually the slogan of the 1984 summer games in Los Angeles. I used this motif to draw a parallel between the equality that is the goal of the LGBT movement, and the equal opportunity that all Olympic contestants are given.

EDIT: I forgot to mention this when I originally posted this, but the black symbol in the center is used to represent transgendered individuals.
