In this sketch I played around with the name of the play appearing at the top of the sketch and a banner type line across with the play writers name. Under is the same concept of the car driving off the bridge to his death and having the same brief case and papers flying out

















For the this sketch I wanted to have the car which is a 1949 ford to go along with the year the play was written appear as if it was coming out at you and driving off the bridge, which is the way main character willy loman dies in the end. In this sketch I wanted to try and incorporate Death of a Salesman into the bridge with his brief case and papers flying outside of the car.

hey kevin!

i actually really like the second sketch best. i feel like you could really play with the arrangement of the title letters as they break apart from the bridge.

the only thing is, is that they would have to be very strong/bold so the viewer could clearly make out what you are communicating.

i also like how there is more room at the top for flying papers and the briefcase- you get an idea of the main character.

this occurs at night right? i think itd be super cool if you could somehow illuminate the title from the headlights of the car- that way it would definitely pop.

alsooo, are you going to show loman in the car? or is it going to be a solid windshield? just curious.

nice job so far mah frand!!

I like the car, the papers/briefcase flying everywhere. That's done very nicely and works well in both roughs. So far, it's easier to read the top sketch for the title, but I do like the idea of the second one. You'd have to go about doing the type very bold and stand out like Danielle said. I think that's what you should go with but just keep in mind it might be hard depending on the colors you use and how you go about making it work. Nice job!

hey kev!

i like your second sketch better. i love how it works that the heavy car and bridge are in the upper half of the poster and there is all this space were it can fall down. i mean i instantly saw it falling down. that's a nice effect.

i agree with both danielle and jackie that you can read the title and information better in the first one. i am curious how you would make it stand out more. of what kind of color-scheme did you think of? because if you really make it happen in the night the viewer probably has more troubles getting the whole situation. well, i guess it depends on how you will transform it to a digital rough. maybe it could be a cool effect to make it happen in the night. maybe really playing with the headlights...

see you :)
