- Poster Design Critique
- Posted by Yitz on April 29th, 2004
Hi - I just made this poster tonight for a friend -
It had to be B+W and he wanted it to stand out so this is what I came up
with.
I think it's ok but I'm not sure because I'm dead tired and I'm turning into
a robot.
Here is the link:

If someone can comment on any kerning or spacing mistakes as well as
anything else - suggestions etc. I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you,
Yitz

the main text, and the picture of the man, need to appear inline with each
other.
the negative space above that main text imbalances the piece. so move it up
a little.
also, not so important, but im really really over the cutout filter, or
streamlining images :-\ but thats just me

I would adjust the head with the headline.
Like the layout.

you used white space... but it isn't really doing anything.
Black and White only? aww, I need colour in my life.
Type can be tightened up allot.
Did you set your type in Photoshop?
Its hard to read and has very little personality. And remember if this is
going to be printed on different colour paper, like bright green, or orange
or whatever, then your dude might look funny. I mean grey mixing with green
or another colour. go for a more graphic image rather than just applying a
filter to picture. Other than that, keep chugging along.

Hi Yitz, whilst it might be trendy I am not a fan of all caps. As with all
advertising that is meant to be read it is your job as a designer to make
the reading as easy as possible for the viewer - ESP. if it's a poster. You
further make it hard to read by the use of the outline font and the
irregular kerning.
I dont know what the subject matter is but it seems like a real yawner - it
would keep me away form this lecture rather than want to attend it.

Just thinking if you were then it would be bad but if you were not, your not
attending would be good, wouldn't it? (And thus placing me in the target
group since I was attracted - without even knowing what it was all about)

Yitz,
I don't think this poster gives the proper respect of such a great man
- Just something to think about
