Hey a fellow New Yorker. Any ways lets get down to buisness. ITs not that good to many things going, on Text plain boring. You wouldve been better off with a photo minap mixed with stock.

I used a stock photo for the car and i wanted to give it an urban feel. I used pictures throughout buffalo of buildings and used color overlays. It look busy as is but the poster is 21" x 25" so it's all spaced out. Yeah the text is boring I hand drew some text but the file didn't work at kinkos and I had to submit it today. My teacher said the exact same thing... But she saw it printed and she said it worked out. I was worried.
Thank you for the opinion though. I wasn't sure how long it would take to get a reply.
What do you mean by photo minap?

Photo Minap is a style used for photo shop which is basicly photo manipulation. Its an awsome style.

Hello! Your work is very creative, however, it does look very busy. Also, the words "cool city and hot cars" don't stand out as well. THe colors are great though, but I think the white on the car doesn't balance the picture well. I like how all the building thingies are black in the background though. biggrin

Yeah. Now that you pointed it out, it's kind of bugging me. Darn too late to make changes now.

I don't have anything to add beyond what's already been said sweatdrop I do very much like the individual elements and the overall feel of the piece, but it's just a bit busy altogether.

I checked out the other entries and I think I crushed the competition. Not to sound cocky or anything (although I think it's too late) but the other posters were done in marker, crayon, colored pencil, or were just lousy. Very few looked close to professional. Not saying that mine does. Yeah it's busy... I'll work in that in my other projects.
