First assignment - Poster mash up

Task : Choose an image pre-1970s image and add elements of modern material culture to create a narrative about what may be happening if the scene was shifted to modern times.
After sooo much deliberation, i finally decided to add helicopter as the modern material culture to my poster.
The idea behind it : Before helicopters and other air transportation were found, people use ships to travel overseas. Because of that technological limitation, it is obvious that the journey will take a very long time. Well..i thought people can save a lot of time by using heli. Heli can be very efficient -if there were only a few people traveling, because it requires only a small landing area . And of course, faster than ships!

First trial :
Original Painting -'Les Pyramides de l'Egypte, troicieme miracle du Monde' (1750) by Probst,G.B.
Yeah i kno the helis are waaay to small..thats why i made a new one :


This is the one that i submitted. I think it's better than the first one eventho still, it's not perfect either. *sigh* I crossed my fingers and hope i'll get a good marks :D

Here is the original painting :

'Seaport with the Embarkation of Saint Ursula' (1641) by Claude Lorrain
Thats it peeps, short history of my poster. I'd appreciate some honest feedback :)

ciao!
