I really like how you tightened the crop from the original photo. I also think the text over the horizon of the picture helped bring the eye to the banner the crowd is holding, which in turn helped bring the message across of the Article this post card is for. I do think if you had made the article number and the text bigger it would have helped a bit. You probably didn’t want to detract from the photo, but it is hard to read. Love the image with that article though and add to that, the image being in black and white creates the right tone. Well done.
Hi Danielle! We had similar ideas for this project – black and white photos of protesters. 🙂
It looks like your image was only cropped slightly from the original, but I like how it turned out. With images like this, the perspective fading out into the middle is still visually interesting without following the rule of thirds, in my opinion! The fonts are very alike, but I can see slight differences in the letter thickness and height, which makes them go together well. I do think the font size for the article wording could be a bit bigger to make more of a statement. But I can also see why you might’ve kept it smaller – to not take away from the protester’s banner. Great job altogether!
