i like the layout and the concept, but there’s something about the colors. They seem kind of similar, same tone maybe. I don’t know, try a little more obvious contrast. But otherwise nice poster.

Over all perfect work… nice job. I like the colors and layout…

did you use photoshop? if so what brush or filter you used to get this sketchy effect?

I used just the regular airbrush, size 3… lol No bells or whistles.

I would if I knew of one… But I don’t do tutorials… I just mess around and find things out the hard/fun way.

The design is not too bad, but the poster doesn’t jump out at me. If I walked past it on the street, it would not catch my attention (and I am always looking at posters).

I agree with dreeft. It’s nice, but it needs something more. Personally, I would go for some more texture … like on the background, for instance. What is the faint line-drawing at the bottom? I’d love to see more of that! What this poster needs is more detail…

I like it! The only thing I don’t like is the location text. It’s all cloudy… I barely see York and Wirral at all…

I’m suprised most people (but not all) has missed the biggest problem with this poster and that is I don’t think it meets the spec

This doesn’t necessairly tell me it’s a bands tour. Doesn’t really tell me about what kinda music I’d expect. There is only one person on the poster I wouldn’t be suprised if someone looking at it thought it was for a solo artist. Not even sure it conveys the message that this is a poster connected to music, if someone was to tell me this was a seminar or something I may have believed them.

I like the design, the colours, sketchy look it’s all well done and I think it looks very cool but I just don’t think the poster does what it set out to do ☹

few tweaks though and I think it will :cool:

wow, I didn’t even think about that 😃 And I also noticed that there’s no dates for the shows…
