Project 1 - Banner - Van Gogh - Artist's Statement



My banner of choice is above.  For this banner I chose the typography (Papyrus) & color, the art works to use and the effects used. 

I made these decisions based on my eye for style, balance and symmetry.

I feel that my designs compliment the artist’s work because, well - they ARE the artist’s work.  I used a series of Van Gogh’s paintings in the banner.

What do you think is successful about your design?  I feel that it is instantly recognizable as Van Gogh’s work while being interesting enough to make a person want to look at it for a few moments.
The thing that could be improved the most about this project would be:  My PhotoShop skills!
