The message that I was intending was one of family. That was severely misinterpreted into dismemberment and sickness. When I was originally making the project, my initial idea was to have kids or a family eating off of paper plates to try to get my idea across. Since almost nobody I know would be a model for this, I asked a person I work with if I could borrow her kids for 10 minutes and feed them cookies (the only parent I know that doesn’t mind if I get her kids hopped up on sugar). Also, I was not intending to cut off their feet, I was just using the image that I had.
I have learned a lot from this. I think I learned more about myself in design and that that will help the following project. I need to be more judgmental about myself and my design work. I wanted green to represent a positive feeling, and it turned into sickly with the image that I choose to show with it. I wanted to show the plates stacked as to show more of a family of plates more than a stack of plates. I wanted to show them being taken up with the movement like at a family bbq would look outside with fighting over the paper plates and who gets to go first.
Looking back on it, I should have found feet or made it less important that they had feet. I didn’t think how you would get no feet from it. I guess I need more feedback from people and maybe less relying on a person who knows the project and our intents with that project. More outside sources from people with sick senses of humor? Or maybe dismemberment came out of Halloween being tomorrow?

How does dismemberment = party? I don't understand how that is a positive thing. My initial theme overall was a positive approach but why would you ever take dismemberment into a positive view. I still have no clue as to what you were thinking.
I like the new contrast that inverting the image gave the background but why did you do it to the kids? It makes them look ghost like and negative yet its for a party? Is it suppose to be sarcastic? Also, why pink? Pink is a dominate color for girls yet you left the boy and girl in the picture. What were you trying to get across with pink? Flesh?
I like the addition of the type and I like the "no shoes" and paper plate party connotation you have brought to the table. The connotation with the image though is all negative but the text is almost positive. Its confusing.
