Hello Akerke!
Your work looks fantastic and carries such vital messages! I love how Article 19 ties into your image, as it speaks to the freedom of expression and the right to speak freely. It’s a powerful reminder that, just like people, all living beings deserve to be free from confinement. The connection between the image of the animal and the concept of freedom is beautifully portrayed.
Great job!
Hello Akerke! It’s nice to e-meet you! I love the title you chose and how creative you were with pairing the monkeys with Article 19. One recommendation would be to make the grey circle a bit smaller as it takes up a lot of the space in your image and perhaps add more of the photograph’s colors (greens, browns, yellows). Otherwise, great job!
Hi Akerke! The monkeys in this seem to congregate, maybe even communicate or watch each other. This fits well and gives a different spin on what we humans think of as freedom of expression. I like your fonts: the first starts bold, but then the second turns soft, like the dichotomy of being human. I agree with the other comment about the grey circle—maybe playing with the opacity would help.
