It looks like your continuing this idea of distorted reality that we talked about before, elaborating on some of the things I started in the original—mirroring the clock definitely adds to that distorted dreamlike quality, and the new crop gives it some motion, as if it's passing through your mind during sleep.
You make your "process apparent" and reveal some of your personal meaning attached to this sign; looks like a sort of digital 3:31 a.m.? I'm guessing this represents the how late you (we all) stay up working.
considering this, the lighting, crop, and motion of the clock face seem to imply a state between sleep and waking; struggling to wake up, but kept in this purgatory perhaps by a snooze feature.
The fact that the clock face and the digital numbers don't show the same time of course adds to this disorientation. I think the story here is a late night in the life of Angie Budd, designer.
i really enjoyed your interpretation of this postcard, however, while interesting, shows that i am not doing a very good job at conveying my thoughts.
the idea of distorted time is correct, however mu visual representation of what im trying to say is too skewed to be recognizable. the "digital numbers" which are actually numbers on pages of a calendar- are to show the amount of time passed versus the perception of the amount of time passed.
though the story that you believe i am trying to portray, as the life of angie budd, is actually a viable conclusion, it is not necessarily my intent.
the idea of a place between sleep and awake is also applicable-- and something that i would like to have more apparent-- but not necessarily the main theme-- perhaps a "if you get it, great, if not it doesn't take away from the overall story and intended affect of the audience".
besides the calendar flipping idea, i have also been toying with an alice in wonderland idea-- that through illustration may connect more to the original and the idea of distorted time.
