Proposal

I want this piece to represent grandeur.  From the Pantheon of Rome to the pyramids of Egypt to the Great Wall of China, I want it to show colossal feats of man.  When snowboarding, a person wants to 'go big.'  That is why i chose these images.  Accomplishments of epic proportions; a huge building... a cork 900.  I will focus on my use of color and lines in this piece, using vibrant contrasting colors without over-saturating.  I want my lines to create lots of movement in all directions, flowing the eye around the board and back to the central image, the focal point, the accomplishment of man.  Other images will appear throughout the board, much more subtle than the main image.  They will be shadowed, transparent, and will be relevant to the main photo in some way.  Using Illustrator, I plan on adding some of my own artwork to the piece.  Washy, tangled lines and color will create movement with a cartoon effect to lighten up the piece.  My goal is for people to see the boards I make and want to ride them.
