Developing My Designs - Design 2

My second design was based on the new culture we have in expressing ourselves by getting tattoos.

I found some inspiring images that I know I really like but some people don't like the look of tattoos especially on women.

Design 2 

This design is all about youth, empowerment and expressing yourself. I wanted to keep the skin really flawless keeping up to date with current trends, the eyes will be really smoked out and dark and the lips will be nude. Most of today's make up looks are all about the dark smokey eye and the nude lip.
On the face I was going to go further and add an inspiring word by making it look like a tattoo.

I liked this design because I thought it was really different to what other people would have thought if they had this word, but I don't know how much further I would be able to go with the design process.
I like the whole look of what it could be and in my feedback they liked the look of the tattoo'd imaged I found.

I would have the hair quite full and big, showing character and edgyness which will come from the make up and design of the image too. I want it to be full on and over the top with the hair and make up because I think that's how people express them self these days and they don't really care what people thing because they are being them self.

I personally don't know how I can change or add to it. In my other designs I know where I can go and where I can change it but with this one I think I have come to an end with it.
I really like the idea and design but I much prefer my other designs to this one.

This is the mood board where I expressed my ideas though, I do like how it came out and I  think its clear in how I want it to look as well -

In my mood board I picked images that would represent what i want to produce and bring across in the image - 

- The feminism image - showing that men are equal to women and we should be able to express ourself how we want to, we shouldn't be different to them because we look different. 

- The tattoo'd woman and "Freedom of expression" - she is showing free expression on her body, doing with it what she likes covering herself in head to toe as that is what she wants to do - browsing is looking at things and words and looking at tattoos could be interpreted the same. Also letting women express them self in how they want to too

- "Out dream yourself" quote - living life to the max to inspire woman to be who they want to be, a lot of women love the inspirational quotes you get on wooden plaques and give them as gift and have them hung around the house 

- The grunge effect - I want the make up to look neat yet grungy, although not all women are that stereotype I think it goes with how I want the image to look and most women have different looks about them self today too there is no right or wrong any more 

-  Waves - I wanted the hair to look a little messy not straight and not curly, this image shows that as not all the waves are the same they are all different
