Here's a second version. Unfortunately, saving it as a .jpg made the text pixelated. In any case, I took the general advice of pushing the 1950s magazine styling. From this I drew the typefaces and colors. I warmed up the image color and changed the stripe and text colors. I also added a few more pieces of cutlery and lightened the glasses. I still want to work on the glasses.Comments? (Thanks ahead for any feedback.)

I think maybe you can alter the photo a little bit some suggestions: maybe you can make it dotted, like the pop art tutorial I did. or maybe you can make the surroundings of the tools white to highlight them even further. What do you think? Did you look for other fancier pictures?
I think this piece has really come around. Between the font, color, and tablecloth, you've really improved it.
In this low-res version the text is illegible, so I can't really comment on the text in the bubbles from this version.
The is one thing I'm not sure about: is it a "taboo" to use the wrong fork or is it just a mistake? I could be totally wrong, but I always think of "taboos" as things we're not supposed to talk about--like cannibalism or incest.
Hale:
Most of the pictures I saw were simple line drawings or the photographs were not fancy enough.
I was in NYC for the pop art tutorial -- what tools did you use?
I could try brightening it more.
Paul:
Yeah, calling it a taboo is hyperbole.
I still feel like taboo isn't the most apt word-I think "disgrace" would also work as hyperbole and be more appropriate for the use.
I like the teal instead of the red. Did you try bubblegum pink? I think I agree with paul - I really prefer the word disgrace. I don't know what else to suggest that wouldn't entail something difficult or next to impossible. But I do wanna see it brighter, so that the overall image is more attractive - like I wanna be able to look at the thumbnail and have it pull at my primal pop conformist urges. you know? :)
I like the way the piece has changed. It still has that 50s women's guide feel which I like for your concept. Can't really read the font when it is small but as long as you can see it in the full size poster it should be fine.
