idea + explainPurpose: my interpretation about these two picked words (lonely and empty).
Idea:
-
Empty is the term describing that there's nothing inside an object/human/..., even the heart. Empty is the feeling where everything around might be interesting, fun, and so on, but you don't feel anything inside. It's just blank.
- Lonely, in my view, is more about when you are at the crowd, you don't feel any connections to them. It's like, you are always by your side even if you are surrounding by a lot of people, a lot of joys, a lot of positive.
To me, what can make it most compelling is contrast in color or the tone value.
Black and white is the good example. The black shows the true dark feeling inside, and white shows how the crowds is having fun with each other. It also shows how the girl cannot connect with the crowd because she's so different with them. That's make her so seperate and lonely.
Purple and yellow is also a good example. I also think of using these 2 colors based on black and white. In my opinioin, yellow represents fun and positive meanings. It's warm and bright like a sun. Yellow mostly gives people an impression of positive. Dark shades of purple, on the other hand, give such sad and lonely vibe to me.
So, by using those combinations can create the seperate vibe of lonely of the girl and joyful vibe of the crowd. From that, some will feel relating about the feeling of lonely and empty.
