destruction


This is an image Adam Haynes did for Nike, which I found through his "fresh" profile on the Communication Arts website.  I think it's a really great illustration because of the sense of space the artist conveys.  We are given a scene which can be examined near, far, and wide.  The subject lingers in a bottom corner, and as a result, is large and easy to identify with.  I also like how we only see the guys arms and legs and the front portion of the bike.  I love the details that are visible in the piece and in particular, the ditch.  The perspective is really engaging and impressive.  In addition to the illustrated subjects, the color palette also helps give the piece a dystopian vibe.  I like how red is used for the color of the sky and sparingly otherwise.
