it's missing action in the open space, theres pictures and such, but they're faded in the background, there needs to be someting to grab your attention, contrast is key, good job though man!

Very cool love it

I like how you point out to target points to some of the senses.. G.W is right tho.. I keep drifting up to the title because that stands out among all things..

needs more contrast to bring out the human head in the background. otherwise, very good

petergriffin24 · 10-27-2003, 07:04 AM

wow I like it just the way it is looks really cool nice work

Konichiwaneko · 10-27-2003, 11:42 AM

looks good.

I've never been a fan of flat poster art, mixed with computer rendered text. (Effects, not how it's actually done).

Type of music?

it is nice that you keep your color palette relatively tight, but you font treatments seem to be missing their mark. the textured font seems to be way off, and the texture that is applied to it looks like a dried feces. i don't know if that is the kind of arrival you are trying to portray. i think that grid 99 style strays away from those types of things. i agree with golden about the pointing out of the different senses or parts of the body.. it seem like you had a decent conceptual motive behind it, but i think it could be tightened up to make it stronger.

^^ I was trying to get a dark/thrasher appearance with the text but I understand what your saying.

I'm not terribly experienced yet and appreciate all the help I can get. Anything I know I've learned from trial/error or help from others. So in a few less words. Thank you

Took the words right out of my mouth.

need to bring out some darkness in some areas, is lacking in some needed contrast I think

31Friction · 11-02-2003, 07:58 PM

^^ that is one thing I thought about it actually. I didnt want to brighten it because its not supposed to be a "happy" piece at all. Didnt know where exactly to make the adjustments though. Suggestions?
