STOP CONSUMERISM 3


I have developed the illustration since last post.
I wonder if you think it would be better to create a background (shopping atmosphere or even the hangman platform?) or if its better to just have it with one fill colour so that the main illustration is more in focus.
Do you think the blood drops should be real clothing or is that too much?
Is type (Stop Consumerism) necesary?

Please be critical!
thanks =)

Hello Ingrid!
My comment is that it seems a bit harsh...do we really deserve to get hung because we shop?

I personally think it's enough with just the flood of blood from the bags..that's strong because it has more focus on what we use our money on, and that cause a lot of pain all over..
make any sense?

Thanks for making a comment Gry =)
Well...I'm not sure if we deserve to get hanged just because we shop.... but a want people to get their eyes up!
I can agree that its a bit harsh....
Maybe a new headline would be considered:
Fashion victim

or something?!?!

hmm i understand what gry means, but i think that today you might need to be a bit harsh to get peoples attention.

i thinks its good but its maybe to much with the blood and the girl being hung? maybe u can make it more simple ?

"Shop till we drop - dead"

That comes to mind.

I think it's a strong message - the coat hangar as a noose adds a little more to the image so you know that it is about consumerism.
I don't think you need a background, or clothing blood droplets - focus on the illustration and you should be fine Ingrid!
