After uploading my editorial thumbnails, I waited for my groupmates' feedback on my design. Below I have a screenshot of my groupmates' comments. Their suggestions and advice were a little mixed with two in favor of the Halloween scarecrow and one for the anxious scribbles.
While I appreciated their input on which one to do, I was still a little uncertain about how my illustration should look. I scheduled a meeting with Professor Mata and she gave me some feedback gave me a clear direction in.
I told her what my groupmates said and she told me to pick the one I prefer and start from there. I feel that both of the ideas I could work with, but the anxiety scribbles felt like it could become more of a fine art project where the scarecrow would be more of a cartoon. I decided to go with the scarecrow and try a more cartoon/political cartoon style; something I've never really done before.
With that choice, Professor Mata suggested I try to make the scene really gloomy and creepy, and then I can have that notorious blue mask and make him not as scary anymore.
I started by creating a mood board before my sketches to get a general idea of the style, colors, and look of the elements.
