Reminds me of "Fitter Happier" from OK Computer... more depressing than motivating...

Haha.. well there sure were many interesting responses.
First off I do appreciate all of them, the bad and the good. It was my first experiment with illustrator ever and I enjoyed it. If nothing else I learned a lot about the tools.
I agree in hindsight I probably shouldn't have stretched so many of the fonts, but I was trying to make things fit.
Showing it you guys, I expected about one positive comment and got about that many, so that was fine. A lot of my friends here at school like it, so I'll probably still print it and give it to them.
But seriously thanks for the responses. I'm 18. I'm just getting into this, and I know I've got a long way to go, so I don't mind hearing that it sucks. I've got my whole life ahead of me to not suck.
Cheers!

here's a hint, look for type specimen sheets and things like that which have been designed to showcase a good comprehensive font by a good typographer, you'll learn a lot from the way they use the different weights etc to fit out a busy page.
have a good look through this site for a start

The math is fucked too, "90% of the Game is Half Mental" WTF - wouldn't that be 45%?
That's Brian Fantana logic!
60% of the time it works everytime!

you guys don't know shit-- stretched type is the latest design trend. It replaced filled-in letters.
- an, you are so behind, backwards R's replaced stretched type before that even replaced filled in letterskelpie
- As an illustrator, I prefer drawing all text by hand as little pictures. Even when typesetting a funeral service.********
