meflick Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Very nice Kris. Excellent work on the pattern and the cutting. I just have one question if you don't mind - its more of a "why or why not" question to doing the design and cutting. By no means is it a criticism its mainly a learning question for me in doing designs. You chose not to add in the "stage" underneath the drum set and then the larger stage that holds up that "stage" at the feet of the front 3. As a result, you can see the image in perhaps two ways. To me, the drum set and the drummer are sort of "hanging" in air without any anchor to the ground. Now, that may be because I also see the original image that you worked from so I "see" it with the stage to begin with. If I ignore the original photo, and just look at your finished piece, I could make an argument to myself that it is not hanging in space, but is simply further back in the background but still on the "ground". So, I am just wondering from a design concept - how you "saw" it with doing it that way? Did you feel it was too much to add in? too difficult to bother with? Not needed? I guess it really came to my mind because as a former high school art student (way too many years ago), I had drilled into my head that you didn't want anything "floating" in space (short of something that flies or floats naturally of course - but even then - you still had something like a horizon to "ground" it to.) So I was just curious as to why you chose to do it the way you did without the stage if that makes sense. Kris Martinson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I was just curious as to why you chose to do it the way you did without the stage if that makes sense. I'm so glad you asked. I gave this very careful consideration. I made my pattern with the stage in and out of the picture. In the end, I decided that The Beatles are the most important focus of my portrait, and I didn't want the distraction of the stage. This is such an iconic picture in the memory of those of us who lived in this magical era of music. Oh...I also knew that I could always go back and add the stage if it looked wrong to me. I am quite pleased with the way it looks now, and given all the comments it has garnered on social media, I think I'll leave it as is. meflick, Gordster and CATRK 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meflick Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Thanks Kris for taking the time to answer my question. As I said, it wasn't a criticism, it was a curiosity question as a relative newbie trying to grasp the why's and how's of decisions in what to include and not include when taking s picture like this and making a pattern. I appreciate you taking the time to explain your thought process in developing this one. Kris Martinson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
