Somehow this makes me think of the cover of the Tintin album "L'Île Noire" http://www.images-booknode.com/book_cover/265/full/les-aventures-de-tintin---l-ile-noire-265103.jpg
Perhaps a similar composition with close/far subjects and clean flat text would work better… as it is now, I find it too dark/dramatic for the subject matter, and I find the word art floating over water cheesy and making little sense, sorry… Another inspiration where the 3D text would work better would be the Philémon's letters in the Atlantic (it's a surrealist universe where the letters spelling OCÉAN ATLANTIQUE on a world globe are really letter-shaped islands) : http://iteror.org/big/img/i/Philemon_leA.jpg On 30 October 2016 at 17:59, Dimitris Chloupis <kilon.al...@gmail.com> wrote: > Yeap thats the idea, being unique is my goal , though still developing my > style. > > I am also not a fan of flat designs , with exceptions those that also > carry a unique style. > > Στις Κυρ, 30 Οκτ 2016 - 18:49 ο χρήστης p...@highoctane.be < > p...@highoctane.be> έγραψε: > >> This skeuomorphic render in an age of flat design...
