Thomas-Evolution is a lie

For starters i like this poster. The black backround with the contrast of the gold text makes the poster more eye catching instead of the basic white backround that was used alot. The use of filters makes the picture more appealing. The poster is balanced well and also the spacing is strong, the poster has alot going on but still seems very organized. I believe that the picture use in this picture is not as strong as it could be, when just passing the picture does not appear to apply to the poster and does not deliver the message quickly enough or efficiently. On the other hand the text is very strong at the top of the poster. At the bottom of the poster, at first glance I did not even notice the "LIES" text at the bottom, if it was me i would not have even included the "lies" part at the bottom I understand that it is not the main focus of the picture, but it takes away from the image. With stronger picture use i think this poster could have been much better.

I like how the monkey's are in a circle that runs off the page and has the glow of the sun. It reminds me of evolution and creationism. The word Evolution is to me fits perfectly as the title.

I think that the work balances well. To me the dominance is the glow around the circle that runs into the title of evolution. The proportion of the poster is not very strong. The picture is way to big and the words are barely large enough to read. There is not much space between the words and the picture. It would of been nice if they were separated a little. It wouldn't look so smashed together.

I don't really understand what the picture is trying to say about evolution. What are the monkey's in the city trying to show? I am kind of confused and think that a better picture could of been used.

The text is both strong and weak. Evolution is strong because it is bold. But at the same time i think that it can be moved up a little so it is not so much into the picture. The weak text is lies... To me i think that it is not bold and stating what is thought about evolution. If the text was larger and bolder the message if creationism would of been portrayed better. I also do not understand what Man or monkey is trying to say.

I think that the persuasive argument could of been portrayed a lot better. The text and the pictures both confused me a little with the ways they were put together. It needs more work.

i think this poster has a lot of time spent into it. however, i think the font's are kind of hard to read beceause MAN NOT MONKEY kind of overlaps evolution so i feel as if evolution is not the main point in the poster. Also, lies in the bottom left hand corner can easily be skipped over and i think it could of been positioned somewhere with the word evolution. i like the pictures though and how they are filtered and stuff. i think that it kind of makes it interesting. I like how there are monkeys in the picture but maybe could of added a man in there also beceause ofyour title. overall i think i's a good persuasive poster it just could have a little work done to it,

When its all said and done i think the text needs some improvement. The LIES... in the corner really does nothing for the rest of the poster. Also i'm not sure if you know but the evolution theory doesn't think we are descendants of our modern day monkeys as your poster kind of suggests. However the word evolution behind the picture does help get the point across quite well. The artistic strokes on the picture also add some flow and creativity to the poster. Personally i think this is the weakest poster based on the text but if the text font and placement this might have been a pretty descent persuasize poster.

This poster i found tobe very unique. The colors is being used works very well with the overall message. I liked how you made your main message stand out more and how "evolution" is faded in the background. It clearly states the message that is being represented. Your overall balance is well placed. I think that this is one of the stonger posters that i have seen. The picture however doesn't go as well with the message as if could have been. The only other thing that i thought could have been changed was the placing of the "lies" i think that if iwas moved more to the right and up a little it might have stood out more. Overall i think that this a pretty stong poster. It is unique and chatches the eye.

I don't think the abstraction of the picture you chose is the strongest. It is distracting and takes away from the picture. Think of it this way, if the picture itself is simple and you feel compelled to alter it in someway, keep that simple as well. If you do too much to anything it does more harm than good. I don't agree with the font choice, i think something a little more conventional would have worked just find in place of the cursive font you chose. One thing that is very nice about this is the gradient in the background. A lot of the times gradients are used in some obnoxious way, but you figured out how to use it subtlety, in a way that fits your design. One last thing, why the ... after lies? Is it a lie or not. Think about what you really want to say.
