I think its an interesting start.
I would say first, try and fix up some of the shapes in the tentacles. There are some very inelegant shapes. Look at ways other artists have handled them.
I also think the type could use some refinement.
Keep going though! This has some potential.

i really like the illustration.
I think the type needs some work tho. its a little shy at the top and i'm not mad about the justified type at the bottom. some stronger, more experimental type, would really compliment the illustration.
- thanks... after posting the pic I can see some very big kerning issues.Knuckleberry

I agree w baseline...kern the headline & refine illustration.
also rosewood is overused, you could probably find better.overall I think the composition needs more balance. maybe make the illustration larger, set at the bottom and the tentacles reach to the top? the type at the bottom can be a lot smaller. i'd play w/ its placement so it doesn't look just thrown in at the bottom.
I hope you can do a full bleed.- yeah, bleeds would help outbaseline_shift
- full bleed is out. Sorry. The bands budget only allows for a certain printer that rhymes with Shminkos.Knuckleberry
- ah, shminkos. now known as "bedex blahfice" if you're feelin ballsy you could trim the margins by hand!ilovesamwich

could you print the poster and hold it in front of the camera? I can't judge it any other way

I like the illustration too... play a bit more with the layout tho... like maybe there's another way to position things. maybe. is this gonna be silkscreened? cuz if not maybe add some texture to it so it looks a bit less flat.
thats my opinion...
hope it helps

go crazy with the illustration, I think that's your best idea here. add type later or work in hand-illustrated type with the tentacles.
