My first poster

nicktechyguy · 02-08-2008, 08:31 PM

I pulled out the old wacom tablet I havnt touched in years and tried it out again. After fooling around with it I made the TDO letters with a wild design, took my photo, and had some fun. My roommate liked it so much I went to kinko's and made a poster of it. Tell me what you think!

I don't no exactly what to say. This has great potensial, but it looks like you haven't releashed it jet.

What I would do:
- I don't like the fonts you are using. Try some other.
- Decrese your font size. It looks more classy
- Try giving the black bakground some transparency.

I agree with Sono I would try some more traditional fonts and try and get some hierarchy going with the type. Make the most important text larger and then make other stuff smaller depending on importance and what you want them to read first.

Also that image prob isn't high resolution enough to print large but im only taking a guess at that. So you may need to add some effect to it or use a much higher res image. Good start though! Lets seem some revisions!

Yeah same here. stick to a max of 2 fonts.
The header font is kinda illegible.

Thanks for the information everyone
I was just trying out new font styles to see what people would say about them. As far as the image size goes, I Just posted it smaller so it wouldn't lag on anybodys computer or take up to much space in photobucket. Should I neglect those thoughts and just post huge images then?

No (please no!), it's just that even at low-res the image is blurry and grainy, but then again maybe that's a 'cool effect'?

What do you want people to see? I'd take a wild guess and say that you want them to see the company name. I had to read the bottom line to distinguish between the o and the d in the fonts you had chosen for your headings, so I'd rething the type if I were you =)
