Hello Mike, I hoped that I did a well enough job at presenting my interpretation on the Debit Card and you've pretty much nailed it on the head! I have had no problems with noise in your or my design. You've understood and reinterpreted my intent of the evil foundation of debit cards and its insecure qualities that it exudes, in a clear and commercially appealing way.
Your design to me says "debt is an evil monopoly." I particularly enjoyed the insecure qualities you've created by choosing Domo, a commercial and international recognized monster, personifying a sense of danger, evil, and his hyperbolic cuteness representing how easy it is to be attracted and dive into debt and spending.
The red tone continues and still exudes a sense of alertness and danger, while the actual image is a high contrast photo that puts emphasis on the scary/monstrous elements of the fear and negativity that debt brings. The paper bills inside his mouth feels like your account, assets, and all that you have is being eaten away, and destroyed by the the source of sharp debit card teeth. The crop of just his upper torso and being at eye level forces the viewer to recognize the dangers presented; as well as the faded edges and background that focuses your eye on nothing else.
Overall I get the quote "put your money where your mouth is," and that saying is always put into a negative connotation. I like the idea that you've given this evil a face that can iconographically be recognized, to warn viewers about the the dangers of the debit card.
"debt is an evil monopoly" is more or less the point I was trying to drive home. I won't repeat everything you stated mostly because you understood completely what I was trying to do. The use of Domo was to give the "evil" of the card an identity but also play on the fact that these companies want you to believe that they are nice and cuddly and safe but in reality their intentions are nothing of the sort. The red was carried over from your original design as I felt that it conveyed the correct tone and emotion.
