Just wanted to get some feedback on some prints I have made this past month in school. If you are wondering why I chose Impact as the font in few of them....it is because those prints coincide with a motion graphic/video piece I did for AIDS awareness and in that video, and welll, the font chosen was Impact.

the images are big and are pngs....so they might take a while to load.
All comments / criticisms welcome. I have to go in front of a board tomorrow and most likely get my ass chewed out on my work face to face by 6 different profs..... so any criticisms any of you make will be compliments compared to what that board will dish out. Wish me luck! haha.....

"ugh vomit"??
im missing the connection with aids
+ defton stylus & impact (nononono)
its really flashy (in a computer arts tutorial kinda way) - im sure u could totally refrain frm any of the insane visual effects and still come out with a really strong msg
i think its always a temptation to use EVERY trick in the bag on every piece of work u do - but u dont need (hand sketches+light beams, paint splatters, + emo photo + distressed type + fat outlines) after a while it become as a mess of effects
pick a 'trick' that is connected with the outcome (ie a light beam = a lifeline) and make THAT the focus.. Otherwise u will make the reader a bit nauseous ;)
asides from form over function comments - pretty intense
bit emo :)

thanks for the feedback guys. for the record, only the first 3 prints are connected with aids. As far as the effects go, they follow what is in the video which is crazy effects + a personal narrative. unfortunately, i don't have it(the video) online as of yet....seeing the video might clear the air as to why i made the first 3 prints the way i did. t-minus 4 hours before my review.....i'm nervous.

Your layout looks like it's for a party ... all those stripes and stars...hmmm.
i would refocus on what your concept is before you get all stylie.
