I had a cool idea in mind for a graphic for our series, Blind Dating. I worked on my idea for several hours, and really do not like the outcome. It turned out to be completely different. now I’m in the stage of deciding if i like it enough to turn it into a grpahic or start over. thoughts?

hey dude…I like this graphic a lot. I think it says a lot with out being real busy and distracting. It also leaves or, better yet, produces a lot of questions. the only thing i would ask is what did you want the graphic to communicate?
Thanks for the feedback. I haven’t gotten a lot of details as far as exactly where we are going with this series so i wanted something that would stretch across a spectrum. The idea of the hand grasping the heart was an attempt to show the negative side of careless dating, and sexuality. I was hoping that the rawness of the heart hanging out there would get that point across without having to really say anything. I like the style of hand drawing becasue it feels more organic. I would like to add some faded, light doodles on the paper, so it kind of looks like a love letter you would pass to someone. This is just a classic example of my high expectation for what my work should look like, and what it turns out looking like haha.
if that is what you were aiming for then i think you nailed it…I love the hand squeezing the heart…that is what grabbed my attention. other than maybe the script to give the feel of a love letter i would leave it. wait a minute what if you added some drops of blood in the shape of tears? this might bring in the emotional pain connected to bad relationship decisions
