This image invites the imagination to play with shape/form, placement and composition, as well as color and contrast. I really enjoy it.
My challenge is to consider playing with rotation options such as vertical and horizontal flipping, as well as more nuanced rotation two angles besides the 45°, 90°, etc. I think the exacting nature of the 45° angle in this image makes it a little bit dizzying for me. Perhaps changing just by five or 10° in one or another direction would make it less stark an angle. Of course you may be intentionally going for the starkness of the angle. In that case, you have succeeded in evoking the vestibular system! 🙒
I once heard a club member recommend that the bolus of energy in an image should be to the right side. If this is a useful idea, what might happen if you were to flip the image such that the head were on the right side instead of the left?
As a coin collector, I am reminded with this image of the artwork sometimes used on the obverse sides of coins, where a national figure is featured either in a side or front pose. It could be fun to crop this image to a circle shape to mimic the type of imagery seen on a coin.
Perhaps consider playing with the colors. For some reason the muted pastel colors seem to blend in a way that makes it hard to distinguish them. Maybe a higher level of contrast or the concentration of a fewer a number of colors could be interesting.
I've attached a sample of the fun you can have with rotating, |
