I have pretty much created all of my postcards on illustrator now and am just playing around with colour and composition.
In this I initially thought that I would include a couple of wild boar, but I quite like the idea of just having one dominant boar as it suggests the nuisance and problems they cause in Berlin as a city.
With this I have been playing around a lot with colour - I have realised the importance of using colour to draw attention to and highlight certain areas in order to help communicate my ideas. I like the bottom left the best as the pink and blue works to highlight the two key elements of the image - the baboon and cars.
Overall I think I have just found that simplicity is best and not to overcomplicate things. For example in these two images - the fox and the parrot - I have tried to avoid unnecessary embellishment, such as getting rid of the clouds in the sky or just including a couple pavement tiles as apposed to lots of them. I think this brings focus and immediacy to the composition.
