My take on a picture

VoDKaMarine · Jul 23rd 2009, 4:20am

Well, it was such an enlightening picture with a great message, and I decided to try my hand at maybe making it better. I don't know if I did it or not, but I'm satisfied with it. Found a great picture and made it.

This is the picture:

The background picture, I got from SXC.hu a site that lets you pick stock photos for free. Link to it is here. If it doesn't work, click here : stock.xchng - Sunset on Beach (stock photo by barunpatro)

Tell me if I made it better or no, but either way enjoy the message that it has.

I like the concept and the photo is excellent for the quote- however it's kinda hard to read and seems a bit too random the way you tilted it. With long quotes like that it's best to keep it simple and straight. Other than that it's beautiful and I love the message.

i like it but i suggest you put the quote in a different colour or font becuase people need to be drawn towards the writing

Well here's my reasoning for it, if you look the guy is sorta tilted to the right, the reflection of the sun is straight down so i thought I should balance that by tilting it to the left. And to make the person looking at the pic that it's radiating out.

Didn't know what other color to use, and I really didn't want to draw TOO MUCH attention to the writing. It should be a perfect balance have people see the picture in the background while they read it to feel that great feeling when you read the quote.

No. With a picture that features a quote, the quote is almost always featured. At the very least, one must be able to read it. I can only understand the quote in your version because I read it in the original. Not only is the black not a good color, the font is small and squished.

Also, the picture is much to busy to allow much of any attention to be paid to the text.

Not to be a douche, but what you said isn't right at all.

Don't worry I know when it's someone being a douche and when it's someone correcting me. What would be a good color then? Orange possibly?
