i really wanna see everyones stuuuffffff!

map

hey everyone! so i decided to create this map that documents the places I went on my world trip-- sort of the time that I felt most like the "quote"

- so there's a flood of black (a pantone, i have yet to pick it, maybe a purplish black) 

- the X'es are all embossed; the white X'es are paper, and the light grey are printed with metallic silver ink. 

- the background text is just embossed, no ink, except for the -make much of time- which is printed with metallic silver ink.

So it will be very texturey, hopefully it will work without cracking the ink/paper?

let me know what you think!

quick edit

Hey guys,
quick edit to the piece, I changed the wing, I thought it looked too juvenile. And I made sure the type is readable when it's printed. Anyways my add ons could be:
Minimal: Just a thick UV varnish on the connections and buttefly guy, (Could also be emboss)
Not-so-Minimal: Emboss on background connections (or varnish), and yellow metallic foil on the letters.

now this is more like it!

RGB'd

right onnnnnnnnnn

so this is what it's SUPPOSED to look like.

now, thoughts? general criticisms?

More stuff to look at!

Here's what I've been working on. My concept is kind of inspired by vanitas and memento mori images. Y'know, those old still lifes that are full of skeletons and dying flowers and soap bubbles and hourglasses and are supposed to remind you that life is fleeting, and every moment is temporary.   

My challenge to myself was to make this whimsical looking, not depressing, and to do it without any skulls (because skulls are one of my things that I use way too often). I started working with this idea of mostly mundane objects disappearing and becoming memories.

I may change some stuff around before this is finished, and I'm especially undecided about the colors. Which of these two do you prefer?

(I'm thinking of doing some sort of gloss/varnish/clear foil/shiny on the bubbles)
