ok, very good notes... shit, this should belong in criticism by now.

shrunk the logo.
the halftone/silkscreen effect arose from a previous version where the jazz going on behind him was of the same effect. that needs to change.
my co-worker noticed the artist's name is popping out in the wrong direction from the rest of the poster. that needs to change too. I'm okay with desaturation / trendy vector / paint splatter. desaturation doesn't feel like an overbearing effect anyway to me.
i appreciate your notes! back to work...
