New Design

Well, it is kinda hard to read. However, I like it a lot. I like the tension of the white area sliding over the black. Somehow, I find myself picking out all kinds of pseudo-facial forms throughout the piece. I guess the brain, presented with the inscrutable, attempts to pluck out something familiar from something like this. I always enjoy something that keeps my attention, and this certainly fits the bill!

I love the textures and I do see some faces as well. I get the text, but the bar code not so much. There’s also a certain tribal quality I see around the edges to of the er…uhh…white/off-white area. I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but it’s a nice touch. All in all for a design with no reason I think it came out well. But was there ever any doubt? You’re really great with the grunge/distressed/texture technique.

Actually, there is nothing at all that needs to be read; I think what text us there could be considered strictly a design element, rather than communication, and as such succeeds perfectly. I’m afraid my opening comment about it being hard to read was a lame attempt at humour; a poke at the people that insist on something legible be in everything. I should have used an emoticon, sorry;-)

There was no attempt on my part to look for any faces, yet they rose up like unbidden thoughts in a quiet place. Each time I look I see different ones, and now it has become a sort of game. As for the bar code, I don’t know, either, but it does seem like something ought to be there, and I don’t think it matters what, as long as it is part of the design, so I think it works well enough. And hey, if the viewer doesn’t like an element…well, they can make their own design if think it is so easy!

I actually really like the darkness of it. There’s a lot of texture.. almost a rusty feel. I like it.

i love the textures and distressed look as well, i just feel that those pieces of white that look like bent toothbrushes are distracting… my eyes just seem to always end-up there
