The concept for this image is to create a very stark contrast between black and white. This is a picture of Rosa Parks, the "international icon of resistance to racial segregation." It is an absurd notion that a person merits a seat on a public bus or not based on the color of one's skin. I wanted to reflect this thought in making Rosa a figure that is both black and white and neither black nor white. I also wanted to put her in a stark environment that is static and not at all organic; much like the abomination of racism. I didn't really need to do another version of this assignment, but I had an idea I wanted to play with. I also want to continue to attempt to conquer the beast of Illustrator, ugh!
......yes! I'm not really sure how you could improve upon this, than again I am not aware of what your idea is. But it is extremely great as is.
