I like your thoughts about design in composition and agree for the most part with the direction you're taking, but for me the diagonals weren't very instrumental in making this picture work. That may be because it was "content loaded" for anyone familiar with HCB -- once you get the joke you stop paying attention to the visual elements. Also, your design (composition) has a lot of loose ends and doesn't entirely cohere. That doesn't mean "bad" necessarily, just something to think about. But I do think you're on to something worth exploring. -- Phil Swango 307 Aliso Dr SE Albuquerque, NM 87108 505-262-4085
