(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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mensilater Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varda Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Make the hands smaller, they take all the attention of the viewer. And maybe try to darken them a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WutangFlu Posted December 1, 2007 Author Share Posted December 1, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robo Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 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 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

robo Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 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 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mensilater Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 The second poster in definitely blends the best, in my opinion. No voice outsings the serpents flawed, euphoric hiss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robo Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 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 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terley Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
