my first impression was a big bare foot, which totally works for boating & beach.
that font lends itself to look like toes with that big block of white background.
it looks great.
the only thing that <i>really</i> bothers me is the placement of "2003". it looks kinda like an afterthought & the leading is too tight. perhaps it might have been better on the same line with november 21-23...?
i'm not so sure about the hyphens either... are they necessary? or should there be a space after them? or should you have used bullets? or maybe just nothing at all??
heh. don't mind me too much here. i'm trying to learn this stuff myself. i'm sure your people were thrilled to pieces with your poster design.
thanks for sharing.
