One thing I really liked was the image inside of an image. The outline provides one story and then the picture provides another story.
ReplyDeleteI really like the first image. It takes an abstract, darker look on a classic visual. It also incorporates realism in the characters; for example, they chose to incorporate an actual lion instead of the human with lion features from the film.
