gonna be cleaned up*
- -leah-0
wow i really like it! I know a poster like that would really catch my eye, good job!
- DutchBoy0
nice. but the lines between the silhouettes of the men are too thin.. try to view it from a far distance with your eyes slightly shut..
- Mark|Instil0
ok thanks dutchboy ill make them bolder :)
- clerk0
looks good! i'd want the illustration to be less angular but you're probably gonna clean that up, the typography is nice. great job!
- Mark|Instil0
cheers, yea clerk its all gonna be cleaned up. :)
- armed_rob0
Looks alright!
Somethings bothering me with the typography...? Try do all the txt in CAPS - maybe!??
One colour would be cool for the band name...
- Mark|Instil0
it has to be black and white, they didnt want to use colour :( lol, i could try caps with the text but i tried to keep everything with the similar style to there logo which i cannot change.

i would even take out the lines between characters... gives the cutout of the kit more significance, if you like that. or, just give the drummer an outline, thicker as dutchboy said, like 4pt.
maybe even square off one of the framed corners, rather than all four being rounded - adds visual interest.
i like it.
- Mark|Instil0
yeah i like the sound of squaring 1 of the corners of ill try that, also ill try both ways with the cutout idea and thickening the line see which looks best :)

what if you tryed putting the "8th" in italics
- stewart0
i have a few suggestions.
1. do something with the b/w image to catch the look of the ppl on the street
2. use the space you have.
3. the legibility of the typography can better, by simply aligning the text on the left side.
it's all in this:
what do you think?
ow, and if the producer of Guns'n'Roses sais you're the next big thing from manchester, please don't use a hotmail address on your communications.
good luck.

I prefer Stewart's example - -http://www.kulsdom.com/newstoda...
The illustration looks less like clip art.
Font treatment could be more interesting -- right now it seems too conservative.
- stewart0
conservative = oldschool = sampledesign = hip?
- Mark|Instil0
i like ur suggestions stewart, ill work with that thanks for ur time and feedback. i know iv said that to them bout the hotmail addy, tryna get them to buy there domain name etc so i can change that.
- DutchBoy0
good suggestion by stewart..
the image could use some more "visual strength".. na meen?
- dave|bxcr0
the illustrtation hasnt got much charisma in my opinion.
why so much emphasis on the drummer? i find the black and white silhouette thing a bit inpersonal not really radiating much vibe hmn.typo looks a bit too clean to me
rough it up.

its boring. if i was to do a poster for a band, the first thing that would come to my mind would be "put a pic of the band on it".
great, what else can you do?
- warheros0
yeah i agree, a pic of the band like that, all generic, it's kind of ghey but whatever. if youre going to use it use it and make it work, know what i mean?
and dont do that fucking halftone pattern, have some originality for christos' sake. font looks good to me. the black border is all right, but maybe not have the band's name in inverse colors {white on black}, use black on white like it's always used.
just my opinion!
- armed_rob0
you could maybe do the illustration as a stencil (I know its used before) and invert it! So you get rid of the box!?
just another idea!
