okay...here we go. i needed sleep last nite, so i'm a lil late...i have a drawing project i have a deadline for *blah* hope im not too harsh in my critiques....
Vogue addiction : i like the vintage feel of your design. it has chanel referances, but you made it your own with the art nouveau style handle, and the clever use of the film strip in the front. i like that you used the film strip idea, thats something i never would have thought of, but works in a dior-type of way. i think i may have liked to see the cigarette holder as an attatched key-ring sort of thing or on the inside of the bag, as it looks a bit out of place right there on the front. i find the juxtaposition of red leather and pink fabric interesting....i think if you played with this idea a little more, you could really come out with an interesting bag. The one thing i would try to work on would be an overall continuity amongst the different features on the bag. I see the vintage chanel refereance, the art nouveau style in the handle and then the cigarette holder which shows that you really thought about the theme and things that are prominant in things relative to what the theme was. The thing to work on would to be to bring all of these aspects and make them your own.
Khoipond89 : very nice drafting skills! i like the idea of shiny hardware contrasting with distressed leather. however, i dont get a real film noire feel to it. It reminds me a bit of the marc by marc jacobs washed satchels, and while i think it is a cool design on it's own, i dont feel that the color or use of vintage leather really fits into the theme the way i was looking for. the shape of the bag and the details are REALLY interesting, but im not sure what about it would directly tie into the film noire theme.
i wish we would have had more entries....i guess better luck next time......
im trying to be honest here, like in a formal critique, so please dont take what i say personally, they are just my honest critiques on the pieces....
and so this weeks winner is..............................

althouh i think there are some minor things to work on as far as development goes, you really came up with a unique idea and it was well thought out according to the theme i gave. i could see this in a movie, and the fact that you did it in pink and red, would show up really nice in black and white....congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
come on, i know there's a bunch of you out there that are thnking about it... we need more entries!!! one day left.......
gosh, did my reviews kill this thread
thanks for the Review!
