Nr.1 most endangered specie
Hey allemaal! Ik kan hier niet meer objectief naar kijken dus zou graag jullie feedback horen en dan vooral komt de boodschap over? Dit is mijn visualisatie voor het postcard formaat.
Here's what I get from it: 1) The most dominant visual elements of this postcard are a sleeping baby accompanied with the text "Nr.1 most endangered specie". This makes it look like pro-life propaganda, except it also has baby animals which is a little confusing. 2) The baby being the most dominant visual element makes it look as if humans (or babies) are a more endangered species than the giant panda or the Siberian tiger. Which is just factually incorrect. 3) I assume you wanted to position the visual elements as such that the baby is "supported" by the animals (the ecosystem), but this isn't really something that comes across well, either. The other visual elements aren't positioned as supporting, but more like things that converge or diverge from/to the picture, like a flowchart of "cute things".
Unfortunately, not really :/
