What do you think?
You should complete the outline of the dog.
I like it.
i think it takes minimal a bit too far and verges on laziness
I gotta agree with Rusty here, though i think it would actually work as an actual poster.

I think its because the space is just to big and the whiteness, I wanted to go for the wilderness effect of the dog in the snow.
A lot of minilimism posters are as basic as mine but I think mine is just a bit too empty

Agree, or is it something else?
i don't think yours works as well as that one does
also i think you might want to consider changing the fonts

Why swedish? Or norwegian, i can't see the difference :P

Have you not seen the film?
Near the beginning, the dog is being hunted by Norwegians that [sp]we later learn came from the camp that discovered The Thing and was slaughtered by it[/sp]
I am assuming that is what the Norwegians are shouting when they enter the protagonist camp.

Post below me confirms it. That is what the Norwegian says.

OH it's a dog
It's.. Broken norwegian. His pronunciation is terrible.
Considering the poster, I think it looks better with the text. However, maybe you should make it fill the frame, balancing it. [I]Maybe[/I] give the text a weak gradient, even.
yeah thats some weird norwegian

se til helvett og komh durr vekk, det urr ikk en bikkje, det urr en sleks ting.* det imiterur en bikkje, det urr ikke vehkelih. kom durr vekhh, idiotturr!
Oh. I have not seen the movie. Sorry, my bad.
i like that you didnt make it look like that crazy ass monster in the movie. that thing would look dumb in black and white
I think it's a pretty cool concept. I like it.
I like super minimalist.
I'd change the font like rusty said (although I didn't like rusty's choice of font either) and then leave it at that.

I think it's a very interesting concept but you just haven't executed it well enough.

Take a look at that. You need to give the impression that it's a dog, at the moment the legs and ears just become lost in the white, and it looks like some kind of deformed monkey. Maybe do some slight outlines at certain parts of the ears and legs.

Needs a better font, and the dog needs legs.
Center the text too

Thanks for the advice, I am pretty new to this

the john carpenter doesn't look like it aligns with the title and it looks bad
work on the dog more and you'll be golden after making the text more aligned
the poster doesn't suit the premise
[QUOTE=parket;29847550]the poster doesn't suit the premise[/QUOTE]
Why do you think that?
Needs more tentacles and bursting people.
You should make something off about the dog, like a very subtle thing.
A shadow stretching from behind the dog of the messed up bunch of tentacles could work.
