kissing liberty :: men's health germany

asaf :: this time the AD came with a specific idea in mind - Miss Liberty (the statue) and a Mr. Liberty, kissing.
I tried to create an old '30 poster feel with lots of drama, as to make that kiss bigger than life.
here are the sketches and final -

  1. I'm reminded of a picture that was on the front cover of either LIFE or TIME magazine where news that the Pacific War had ended and a woman on the street is being kissed by a sailor.

  7. thanks everyone.
    great photo papa and nate. didn't know it. here is another mythical photo of a kiss from Robert Doisneau, from 1950. it's just too classic to be cheesy.

  8. I think "Mr. Liberty" is just an interesting concept on its own. This came out nice.

    This article is the culmination of an intensive search of all the information out there on men's issues. We learnt a lot and you're bound to, too.
