Redirect to original
Description My next school project. I used the same model (liquid-venus-stock, she has really nice stock).
For this one we are supposed to take some photos and put them together into something that has to have a message or clear opinion on something.
I had no idea what to do, and I like zombies, so I figured I would do something about how the media and TV in general tends to tell people what to think instead of them thinking for themselves, they become media zombies.

Anyway, this is my first draft, I would love any and all comments and advice I could get to help me make it a better project (besides saying redo the whole thing...).

Soooo
What do you guys think?

BTW the class and teacher loved my last one, this one I don't know about though. Because it has to have a message, I can't make it as asthetic as I usually would.



OK updated with the new version so far

WOWZA did you ever deviate from the original but I likes it. There are a few elements that are a little to prominent in the scene. The curtains need to be softer and not as vibrant. And the table top needs to be a little duller and not as bright. Other then that I like this.

Sweet, thanks.
Yeah I changed it up a bit. I like it a lot better though.
Again thanks for the help and ideas, I really wasn't sure where to go with it until you siad the evil latern light thing, and that fits great.
I'll show the curtains and table some attention.
THanks

So far it looks really good, but there are some thoughts from my side. First, why did you put Michael Moore on TV? I would be very careful to use him... I mean, I would prefer some TV junk, not him. In my eyes Moore has some good points in his works, which are not TV junk food... I would try to make the girl give some pain, not just be a zombie. Try to work some more symbols in.

I miss a story here in the picture. If you wanna show/tell something to your recipients, try to show them a story, a message. The message is still missing, in my eyes. From the technical view, it's very well done so far.

Hope I helped you a little bit...

Yeah thanks man.
I put him on the TV just for an example of media, because not just tv, but news, and farenhiet 911, to most stuff like that subtracts somewhat from people thinking on thier own.... Not really sure, was just trying to come up with a way to use zombies

So thanks for the advice, I'll try to work in some more stuff to make it work

Tis missing something my friend. Maybe some demons or weird shadows on the wall to fill in the "white space". Maybe some evil lantern light (ex. green yellow ambient light)

Full view please too.
It loses a lot otherwise.
The real size is 11X17 inches at 200 ppi, so it even full view isn't as good as it could be.
There is a ton of detail I put in.

My problem is I just don't like it.
It is technically well done I think, but I just don't like the whole feel of it.


The hard part is having to incoperate a message.

So if anyone has any ideas about a something better to do I'll do that.... because I just don't like this or see how it can easilly be turned into something I would like....
