i'm working on a poster for our valentine's day event in our high school, it was supposed to be "green themed" but they changed it last minute so i'm kinda stuck with this color scheme unless i change it altogether!

(low res screenshoot whoops)
could really use some feedback on this one, the common consensus was that it was a bit too green! haha i really wanna add more to it (esp. since i'm building up my portfolio for college) but i've hit a slump so please any feedback would be appreciated!!
also i made a 2nd version for the ~*lonely hearted*~

according to the client the lightning bolt makes it seem too '70s :/[/QUOTE]
I like your idea but I think you need to work on the positioning of that icon.
The attachment of the S and E looks wonky somehow and the bolt coming through makes everything look even more odd on the bottom left. Also the bolt itself looks a bit off.
I'm a fan of bringing forward images out of negative space, but your balance is off here.

I think the robot is a little creepy. I think you should just change the hue to red. I do like the people on the left side, though. Also, the people don't really stand out too much, because their colors are so muted.

i think i'll just have to scrap the bolt since the client doesn't like it and i'll try to come up with something else if i have the time

make the bg white and i dunno, add some color to both the guy and the girl. make the guy blue and the girl red. the negative space doesn't really work out well for this situation but you can retain it if you add some color to them.
your primary typography on the top is also weird, perhaps hand-write it or something. the clutter and crapness of the first one seems to be working way better for the first one then the more cleaner second one.

I'm afraid that though it doesn't really look "70s" it looks rather wonky. I realize you didn't include the negative space of the s because it would have distorted the bolt, but the S looks pretty bad now.
Spark doesn't have to be a lightning bolt, and even if it does, you could try a more realistic lightning bolt. Or have an S turning subtly into a bolt like that.
eh i'm probably out of time by now anyway and i didn't think of anything
thanks for the feedback guys! rehauled my VDAY poster and made it more colorful - i ended up making the guy red and the girl pink due to the dress requirements that day (students have to wear red/pink on that day)
i still need to fix the text at the bottom a bit, still playing around with it! the poster's pretty much almost done i think? i'd like to hear your thoughts !

the shadowed red typography looks bad on the bottom, try a different colour or a bolder shadow
the bright flat pink of the girls looks a bit strange too
Did a mockup for airsoft uniform patches for an event, what do you think?

metrics on the text are fucked, rounded arial sucks, but w/e it's fine i guess. a uniform patch isn't really meant to be a pinnacle of design anyway
i dont like the black outline, try making it the same colour as the inside of the patch
The negative triangle space above the sheep and between the words looks really awkward to me

What do you mean by "the metrics are fucked"?
I whipped this little experiment a while ago:

Just wanted to mess about with a bit of typography.
not trying to be harsh here, but that's kinda just slapping a single font with lowered opacity over football photographs...
your kerning doesn't look at all considered and although it's not a bad choice of font (what it is, by the way?) there's nothing remotely interesting about it. it's not designed, it's just... made
As I said, it was just an experiment. The font is Code Bold.
the modern one looks way better because you can easily read it

the space between "operation" and the border isn't the same as "blacksheep" and the border

a different version: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/mvAmVN2.png[/IMG]
Perhaps I should attempt something in a different patch shape that would be more conducive to the horizontal format of the sheep?
It's definitely better, but the top two words are too close to those edges.
You either need to find a way to them give more space, or maybe even let them bleed.
Can anybody help me with the font on this design?

Making this futuristic London skyline for a TV program, anyone got any buildings they want to contribute? :D
Or even know of any places/people who I can get some from? I don't fancy making them myself but I will if I have to.
The vehicles are too evenly spaced, even for robotic future cars, imo.
