Colour and references

The colour choice for the postcard background and text was difficult again. Originally I went for a classic look, i.e. blacks, greys, boring. This blended in with the modern images too much...

So I decided to lighten it up a bit. I picked the old bicycle for colour inspiration. On my final postcard the background is a cream, and the text is a dull red. it looks goooooood.

A lot of my images (such as the flying man) came from a really inspirational website called DazedDigital.com, see here:

This website is incredible - it's updated every couple of days. There's info on alternative art and culture, photography, music, fashion, and current affairs. A magazine is tied to the website called Dazed & Confused, sold in the UK, and rarely sold here in Australia. It is the most amazing magazine (see dazed and confused magazine cover in my modern day image montage on postcard) It really should be sold here for a good price and at all good magazine selling stores.
