On this post, I believe that I found one of the best billboards to show graphic design (that came out of the billboard book).
I really enjoy the amount of work that had to go into making this image. I have seen things like this before in magazines, but I can not believe that this would have been a real billboard! For the graphic design principle, when you start off with the man on the left, I can see the great amount of lighting that is shining down on his head and shoulders. I can really get a feel for what that person would look like in real life. With out the lighting in this image, I do not think that it would be as successful, because the guy would not look 3D. He would be a flat looking cartoon style character. Moving on into the next image, you can see that he is transforming into a timber wolf, by the description of the billboard. This would have been the step that would have taken the most time. Can you imagine getting the right effects from both the actual picture or design of the wolf and from the man and applying them together? That would take some time. Again in the last two images of the animal/human, you can really get a since of figure from the amount of lighting there. This was a good billboard in my opinion.

I love this. I'm not a Timber wolves fan either.
I would love to use this as an inspiration some time.
Great pointers about the lighting. You're right - without the light it would have been a pretty flat picture.
