SB2 Greetings From... | Changing designs

After having conversations with tutors and people in class, some things were made clearer and some things brought more questions.

I decided to rejig my compositions another time based on what I liked about them and the advice I'd received from others.

I don't know why I had decided to get rid of my previous witches. I think I had focused on simplifying too much. I wanted to incorporate them because I think that they are funny little characters, and they could help to bring some visual interest to my otherwise boring designs.

Here I look at the house and hill arrangements. Compared to my cut-paper experiments, I think the arrangements I had sketched out above work better. The way in which the space is used is a slight improvement and doesn't look as bare.

Breaking things down into segments, and drawing out versions also helped a bit. I tend to sketch out ideas for small details / finishing touches too just so I don't forget them (smoke, clouds, foliage, etc...).

Revisiting things gave some clarity, however I'm finding it very difficult to keep on going with an idea that has turned out to be disappointing and lackluster. It's a shame because I enjoy the themes and background, I just don't think it has answered the brief and I don't believe I can execute it in a decent way.
