November 28, 200718 yr Making this for a couple projects (college project, and real-life) Still have stuff to add on to it, but in the end it will be made into a 15x20in. poster for a contest. with the theme that demonstrates one person can make a difference. Contest: http://216.235.201.156/NETCOMMUNITY/Pag ... &srcid=271 Rules: http://216.235.201.156/NETCOMMUNITY/Doc ... oc?&id=135 Any ideas would be welcomed. actual image size is 4500x6000 pixels @ 300dpi, so its quite large. Stock from SXC For my project I'm making a poster, business card, and CD cover. But I'm at a stall without and idea what to do. Business Card: Old WIPS: [hide][/hide] New: Poster (For college) -For the poster I'll do for the contest I'm going to use the business card layout, and add the clouds.

November 28, 200718 yr I like. :D Perhaps make the outer glow om the earth a bit smaller? It doesn't look right, in my opinion.
November 28, 200718 yr I like. :D Perhaps make the outer glow om the earth a bit smaller? It doesn't look right, in my opinion. agreed. make it thicker at the earth and go out about half as far. looks great thouhg! 1980 Berlinetta with a 350, bored, mild cam, intake carb, headers, exhaust
November 28, 200718 yr nic i wanna copy of the poster :P, also, kinda off-topic, is that a hurricane to the left of wat is assume is mexico? (my geo. is horrible lol) Sig by thru,yaff, ty both :)
November 28, 200718 yr what we were meaning with the glow is like, not making it thicker, but like, uhh. ill try and make what i mean. ill edit in a bit EDIT: i know its wrong colors and what not, but this is kinda what i was meaning. 1980 Berlinetta with a 350, bored, mild cam, intake carb, headers, exhaust
November 28, 200718 yr Author nic i wanna copy of the poster :P, also, kinda off-topic, is that a hurricane to the left of wat is assume is mexico? (my geo. is horrible lol) You are correct. If you would like a poster after I'm done with it I can sell you a copy (don't worry, I don't charge ridicules prices like deviant art) Yes, that is Mexico. Also, I updated it and messed with the atmosphere like the first 2 comments suggested. and... by no means am I trying to be realistic... I'm trying to make it catch the eye, after all this is a poster.
November 28, 200718 yr Very nice, is it ok if I use this at my church? About 200 people will see it if I use it :) [http://woopidoo2.deviantart.com][Tip.it Moderator from Dec 10, 2006 to 03 Sep, 2008]
November 28, 200718 yr Author Very nice, is it ok if I use this at my church? About 200 people will see it if I use it :) Umm... if you wait til' I'm done I'm sure you'll like it more As much as i hate religion I'll let you (when its finished)
November 28, 200718 yr I like it so far. Is the earth a stock photo or have you done it yourself, however?

November 30, 200718 yr I know you're not going for realism, but the light source on the hands doesn't match the earth. It makes it look flat and a bit strange. No voice outsings the serpents flawed, euphoric hiss.
November 30, 200718 yr Make the hands smaller, they take all the attention of the viewer. And maybe try to darken them a bit.
December 1, 200718 yr Author Make the hands smaller, they take all the attention of the viewer. And maybe try to darken them a bit. Cant be done without re-doing the whole thing Im content with the way the hands and planet are right now. At the moment its a matter of designing, and I wish to get critique on the design of the business card. Also, im thinking of doing the poster the same way as the business card except 15in. tall and 20in wide. instead of the dark blue background I would change it to clouds
December 1, 200718 yr lov the buisness card "wip 1", i think it would look b.a. as a poster, don't forget to tell ma when u start sellin em :wink: Sig by thru,yaff, ty both :)
December 1, 200718 yr Author lov the buisness card "wip 1", i think it would look b.a. as a poster, don't forget to tell ma when u start sellin em :wink: This is a VERY ROUGH pre-render of what the idea of the poster that i would enter the contest with. I just threw the clouds in there without adjusting anything really I'd need to refine ALOT, i cant stress that enough, this image is just to get the general idea.
December 1, 200718 yr i like the idea, but i can't judge until its refined, but i don't like the bend in the words to much for reason, i hav no clue y though lol they both look good imo Sig by thru,yaff, ty both :)
December 3, 200718 yr Author Stupid to merge the layers together then. Ohwell Updated the business cards and added variations of a poster. Onto the CD cover.
December 4, 200718 yr The second poster in definitely blends the best, in my opinion. No voice outsings the serpents flawed, euphoric hiss.
December 4, 200718 yr i defanitly like the second buisness card more than the 1st, blens better with the colors, i like the 1st and 2nd poster, 3rd kinda looks like bad weather :?, and 1st and second CDs ftw, i do look forward to c'n who wins in this, i tink it will b u tbh, also mind tellin me how i got that affect around the CDs? jw Sig by thru,yaff, ty both :)
December 4, 200718 yr Im really digging you CD designs, I think it works beautifully.. Especially the darker one but they all look nice, the bluer one is maybe the worst for being a tad oversaturated. But there's nothing I would change with the last one, I suppose it's just preference. For the poster, again I think the middle version is too saturated, resulting in parts looking a bit unatural. It's all about the colour contrasting.. But im sure it would look superb printed out, it's quality work and should catch your eye.. But have you tried the earth at the bottom and the text at the top? because as this would be on the wall, the text should be at eye level.. And I suppose it would make sense having the hands coming from the bottom instead of out of nowhere, it may be perceived as the hands of god. Also the text may be a bit hard to read, the 'Can make a difference' part.. Im sure there's a way to push it to our attention more either with a stronger font or subtley darkening behind it.. Haven't got much to say about the business card, personally it may be a bit simple. The idea's there but I don't think it looks as finalised as it could be. It's a pleasure seeing your work LP.

My final assignment for the college is revising my designs. I'll post the revisions as I progress. Thanks everyone for the critique.
