sophie and rosie who reviewed my work in the progress crit mentioned that i should rethink the composition of my postcards, this was something i also worried about being a issue. though i had previously played around with composition, i decided that my current layout worked best as using landscape meant that some products looked lost in the page/postcard, however because of the amount of negative space to the left of the postcard i felt that maybe the resolutions looked too bare and there was too much white in the image.
i started off by playing around with using a coloured outline to try and conceal the white
i then thought about duplicating the illustration to fill in the space. however when showing this to matt, he felt that this was taking away from the hand drawn quality as this made the postcard look more digitally made as i was using exact copies. the only way i could resolve this problem would be to draw 2 more jars again which would have some difference to show they are hand drawn, however this would take up more time which i feel i need to put in to other areas of this project ready for the deadline in 2 days.
here i have played around with adding more of the textured pattern to emphasise it, i have shaped it to represent a spillage of the product inside. i feel this involves more of the space in the postcard, yet still relies on the use of negative space to maintain a strong focal point on the product.
