Heres a little something i came up with today quite fun. And then I made it into a poster. So tell me what you think.

And the event never happened by the way.

It all looks nice and dandy until I scrolled down and saw the buttom. If it's all about you then you shouldn't repeat your name ina illegible color along with a logo that part-fits part-crashes with the colourscheme of the poster. Draw the text a tiny bit away from the skull too, they kind of crash. But beside that I love the colours and the skull, and all things concidered it's an awesome poster - the yellow just crashed everything into a deep fiery pit of doooooom and despair and, well, doom.

What alyCe said. In addition, never use yellow text on a white background, because it is IMPOSSIBLE to read unless the font is very big and very heavy. Yellow is a hopeless color. In fact, yellow sucks.

Great poster, but i agree the yellow is to hard to read and maybe even go go a point size or two smaller and ur personal log is way to big and takes away from the poster. I would also not have it as red and blue maybe but maybe one color and smaller.

what others have said.

try to keep the bottom info and logo into one colour (black or dark gray).

also, the text "Artistic Anatomy" needs to be kerned IMO.

Looks good though.

Well thanks all for the comments, i see what you mean by the logo is too big.

My come back to the yellow is that its the least important of information. I didnt intend for it to be read, but hey if they want to read it, its there. I just wanted something there to give it some more composition or something like that. But ill take it out if you really want me to. And yellow is not a horrible color. But whatever.

Yellow is a horrible color to work with graphically, because it's so damn difficult to balance it (yellow is much lighter than the other colors, and by using yellow in a designpiece it will have to be very little, or else it will swallow the other colors)

Next time I'd suggest using a light gray or something, it will harmonize better I noticed that text because the yellowonwhite was hurting my eyes XD

I think suddenly it plays a bit too much off cmyk now. artwork/designs with cmyk-schemes can be awesome, but it usually says; "DESIGN, DE-ZINE, D-SIGN" - not "ART" - and this is for an art gallery. The hinting of cmyk is cool because as I understand you do both, why not try to combine them? cyan, magenta and.... orange? Let the designer in you take a coffee and let the artist speak? ^_^
