HELP

[JacksColon]

Okay, so, I'm designing a cover for a publication. The publication has to do with technological innovation in China and India. My buddy was designing it,but he's a putz and kept coming up with cheesy lightbulbs n stuff. So, I through THIS together in like 5 minutes:



i need to also incorporate an Indian flag, but not sure how..using these images:







so, any help would be appreciated!

Are you limited to using ONLY those pictures?

[JacksColon]

Oh, no, these are just some cool images I had. By all means, all suggestions and help is welcome. I know i'm not very good with photoshop, and you guys are, so, that's why I post here

Ugh, I'm playing around with it, to no avail. And I just found out from my boss that is has to be b/w. WTF? I know it's cuz of recent budget cuts and we need to save money - and printing in color is more expensive, but shit man, tie my hands behind my back FFS!?

Anyways, I can't think of a way to visualize "techological innovation in china and india" so, please, any and all help is welcome. I feel like a fu.cking retard right now and my brain hurts from thinking

What you could do is Connect the two faces with a chip like thing you know these weird "streams" that are on a chip? Use them to connect the faces or soemthing like that :/

Why not make the face in the first pic have half of the Chinese flag and half of the Indian flag?

I would put the chinese flag in the background, lowered opacity on a dark dark grey to black gradient background, with the face ontop, burned edges so it looks dark like it does now, and place the Indian flag over her face with the blue circle on either her left or right cheek.

Then do some clean detailed lettering in the dark portion next to the face.

Thanks Dom, I'll try this at work tomorrow. I may need to ask your help with it if you don't mind. thanks!
