Shelby,
I think the idea behind your poster is a great one. I am a little confused as to how the picture goes with the topic, unless the focus on the bottle and young child is what you were going for. The header "Stop Drinking" works well and the red definately draws the viewer in. I think the font works really well with the picture and the theme of the poster, but the placement of "Abuse" and "Bottle" could be different, strengthening the overall composition. The gray scale of the whole poster portrays the seriousness of the topic, so I applaud you on that. I think by pulling the photo further into the poster rather than having it so far to the right might help the composition. Also, if "Abuse" wasn't vertical; being the only vertical text it kind of sticks out. The idea is great and with further tweaking I think your poster could be really strong.

i thought that this really showed what it was meaning. the abuse part i thought should of lead more into the begins in a bottle. i also think that the stop really attracts you to read what the poster is saying. if the abuse flowed more into the last saying i think it would of helped the poster be much more persuasive. but i do think that it was very good and changed your mind on that issue.

I think it's a great and sound composition. The text is absolutely wonderful and gets the point across extremely well. I like how the picture, while not behind the text, takes the place of the background next to the dominate text.
