Destroy the Icon (#'s 9.5-12)

I did a couple more ideas involving the scanogram. They seem to be further away from the actual destruction of the icon than previous attempts, but I really wanted to get the idea that the mother is strapped for cash and focused on that aspect more so than destroying. I also tweaked one of the last pictures so there was alot more contrast.

Re-scanned scanogram

Here's a re-scanned version of my scanogram. The guitar picks in the last one didn't really fit and I wanted to add more coins. I also draped my coat over the scanner so I can have a black background.

Still trying to avoid heavy distortion with the mother's face, though the image of her mouth ended up being extremely distorted anyway.

With this one, I was trying to get away from really heavily altered faces and simply masked over the highlights and midtones of the mother's face, letting the shadows mesh up with the background.

What my main idea going into this was to trying and distort the face as much as possible, because I feel that's the most recognizable aspect of the photo. I also didn't want to use any other aspect aside from the actual picture. All the patterns, with the exception of the scanogram, are from the original picture.

Fantasy Appliance, Final

The final of the first project. I centered the text a bit more. I also changed the pot to something easier to read and added some value to the water
