    I hate to be this negative but there are a lot of issues. The gold frame doesn't speak New Orleans or Mardi Gras at all. It's too refined and not in the style of the poster. The character needs a lot of work. Despite that, it's probably what the focus should be in the composition. Right now it's a side note in a mish mash of mushy things that could be any location on earth except maybe the boat. I think there's a bridge there but don't understand the top parts. It should probably be gone completely since I don't think there are any memorable bridges in New Orleans. I agree the 2024 needs to be more prominent, probably near the type at the top. The scroll art needs a lot of work. At least the level of quality of the main type.

    • Agreed on the character work, and honestly it's too busy. I'm guessing the purple and black is a Kings thing?garbage
    • The Jester and date need more prominence, imho. Right of Jester is just.. too muddy. I know they're making room for the skull, but something isn't working.garbage
    • If cityscene is important, have a skull jester on the horizon. You could have the sunbeams be the jester hat tassels or whatever they're called.garbage
