I'm head of the grad committee at school and I decided to make a few posters to advertise certain important dates for the students. They don't have a certain theme, and they certainly don't have anything to do with our prom theme. I just wanted them to be noticeable. What do you guys think?
Also, french posters. Good luck understanding. :3:
This kind of popped up in my head, but I believe I've seen it somewhere. I sure hope not.

This one is entirely from scratch. Quite proud of it actually. I personally find it has a bit of a Much Music style to it.

How is my typography? I personally think I'm getting better, but I'd just like some feedback.
I really like the first one, although you could make the edges of the tree a little smoother, but the concept is good and the execution is good as well.
The second one is nice in terms of the picture and the title, but there's something wrong about the rest of the text, can't put my finger on it. But it's a good concept as well.
Being in French 2 I can understand most of the posters :v:.
That aside I think they're quite nice, though I'm not one to judge posters.
Want my first reaction? You're getting it.
I couldn't read the first ones "attention" for shit, took me 3 passes to get that and I think it's because of the choice of letter shades, it draws your eye all over the place before you recognize the structure of the words (being someone who hasn't spent an hour making the piece I had a virgin eye, lol)
The overall feel is good, I just think you should work on directing the eye better so it flows properly.
Actually, I was trying really hard to get the flow right. I wanted the actual body to be legible so I stuck it under the "Attention".
ajacks is spot on.
Overall on the second the ATTENTION doesn't stand out nearly enough. All the red amongst no colour really stands out and pushes the headline further back than it really should be.
Is it better with the background "ATTENTION"?

Oh I see now that I kind of clashes with the body.
For the first one, the bright blue bird and random V look like a smudged mistake, not an actual thing.
The problem with the last one is that the red text is just slapped over the image, it looks like it doesn't belong there. Try a drop shadow or a sharp white background like with the characters.
And if you're gonna keep that repeating text in the background, make it less noticeable. Let it be a texture of the background rather than something your eye catches immediately.
The red text actually kind-of initiated vomit reaction. It looks so horrible on that, so out of place. It's like a Jason Vorhez with a blood-dripping chainsaw in the midst of a children birthday party.
If that poster was on a wall in my schools diner, I'd stop eating.
first one is much better as far as colours go, but that attention is so out of place and it's so segmented that I get confused every time I read it. and that word is overall very annoying.
For the purpose they are serving, I think they are pretty good. The red lettering on the second one is a little awkward as everyone has already said, but still eye catching.
You must realize that kids aren't going to stop and critique your posters. They are going to stop, because its noticeable, read the text, and move on. The point of the posters is to spread information, and thats exactly what yours are going to do.
Also, I don't understand a thing they say. I can read spanish, but not french.

main problem is TEXT IS TOO CLOSE TO EDGES
always leave plenty of space, create in invisible border if you have to
but the text is TOO CLOSE

and for this specific one try some different colours on the text as well, the bottom is a big chuck of red. have a few different colours there, nothing radical, keep in with the theme, but have a little more variety down the bottom there so its not a little wall of red
[editline]12th November 2010[/editline]
and AND on that one it's not balanced there's too much on the left and not enough on the right you have to be aware of the space you're using and make sure it balances out and has a nice sense of symmetry
[editline]12th November 2010[/editline]
while not exactly BEING symmetrical
Hahaha, I think I get it Rusty. Thanks. I'll keep that in mind for the next time. Thanks for the CC everyone.
May just be me, everything on the second one is even, besides the red text. It only being on the left is weighing the eye only to that side.
