I've been thinking about just the right time to use a "board game" idea for an illustration, but not yet. I'm not sure if a the board game served up your idea, but I must say the words you choose were fun to read, and absolutely made me think about that you had to say!
Safe indeed! The concept is unique and interesting. The design is almost like a puzzle to me too, or an amazing figure / ground experiment. This could make a wonderful board game........
I didn't realize "safe" was a fridge. But, of course it is ,the way I painted it. I like your interpretation better than that of an actual safe which is what I had in mind.
This concept works really well - there's a kind of progression as you work across the board. The whole idea of little square boxes all arranged like this (board game aside) is an inspired composition for this topic. The pictures really add as well.
You always come up with the most interesting interpretations, this is no exception, I thought this looked like a brainstorm crossword puzzle. Safe is a four letter word is my favorite.
Nice idea. Like your funky colors too!
ReplyDeleteGreat illustration. How many times do you see the word 'safe'. Count them. You should get twenty.
ReplyDeleteVery original idea.
interesting concept - good idea...
ReplyDeleteit's like a boardgame with endless possibilities

ReplyDeleteWell, this is certainly well thought out. I like the idea of including all these thoughts in a grid with minimal imagery. Powerful words all.
ReplyDeleteNice concept!

ReplyDeleteGreat concept. I like how some of the phrases step out of the boundaries of their safe little boxes.
