I don't like how the LP's are in there
- designbot0
Nice work, though that font is a little hard to read. More kerning maybe?

digdre: How about if they were smaller?
designbot: Thanks – I haven't done much kerning yet, and it should be more legible at its intended size (portrait tabloid). Admittedly, I don't have much experience working with Avant Garde alt.

Maybe if the LP's were moved closer to the mountains.

While over all the design has a nice start, it just kind of feels like you gave up. The upper portion is nice, but once you get below the 'horizon' it just falls apart. I don't seem any reason why you chose AG, why there are just two random columns of text hanging out below while the event info stretches across the entire poster.
I don't know. It's a start, but it needs a lot of work still. I don't think the LPs are a complete disaster, but again, needs work to realize the concept better.
First things first: there's a heirachy of sorts, but you need to finesse it a lot. The 'dj benefit' is the first thing I see, not the title of the event.
Yeah. Hope this helps.
- Definitely helps, skwiotsmith – thanks. The bottom columns are kind of random, because I don't yet have the info.!dog_opus
- Sorry I was kind of all over the place with that post, but glad to know I got my point across.skwiotsmith
- No, you're right on, and I appreciate the helpful criticism.dog_opus

needs more dirt

a DJ request; more Black Sabbath
- horton0
as i said, more Black Sabbath... meaning that font looks better played loud and huge.
lots of empty white space in the sky. i'd personally make the Sabbath event title much bigger and the primary focus, and scale down the mountains.
my 2 cents.
- Ah, okay – thought you were just joking. Thanks, horton – good idea.dog_opus
- yeah i was kinda joking but then i turned it into crit :)horton
- isn't it Black SLABbath?skwiotsmith
- omg i've never noticed that L.. thats almost funny ywtf.horton
- horton0
and flip your AG alternate "V" in EVENT... looks very odd facing that way.

Thanks a lot for all of your input, everyone. I have to go take the dogs swimming now, but I'm going to use your suggestions as a starting point when I sit back down with this one. Much appreciated.

Try making one large LP and have a half showing at the top and half at the bottom. Might need to adjust the mountains a little.
