Don't smoke

Overall, this one works exceptionally well. The balance of the back of the head and the gun work very well and the text is laid out so it is not only easy to read, but intriguing to look at. The cigarette inside the gun could have been a tad more pronounced; when this picture is looked at from a distance or from a smaller image size, all one can see is a smoking gun. The idea of the cig in the gun was very clever though- it efficiently portrays the message of the poster, along with the catchy slogan that people will remember.

i think this design is a very strong one. It pretty obvious what the dominant element is, which is good. I like how it was balanced with the man in the corner and the gun off to the other side. These elemtents were very strong in the poster and thats why i could tell they were dominant. Its hard to tell the rhythm because there are no darker or lighter objects in the poster. However i like the rhythm of the objects with size. The smaller size of the gun and the angle leads you down to the head of bigger size. The balance of the poster is really good. No one space is too overcrowded and the colors balance out as well. The proportion is good too. The objects are good in size compared to each other. They are very realistic. The spacial organization is well thought out. There is good negative space compared to the filled sapce.There is some overlapping with the word "Cigarettes" and the smoke from the gun but not too much to make it unbalanced. The composition shows the artists motivation and portrays his beleifs well. I really like this poster. Good job.

I think this poster is one of the best i have seen so far. I like the slogan in the picture and the pictures becasue they go together very well. The dominance of this picture is the gun pointing at the boys head. Then if you look closer you can see that the bullets inside the gun are ciggarettes. The balance in this poster is very good. The spacing in between the words is very good to and the poster flows very well. Overall this poster is my favorite and it gets the message accross very well.

i think this poster is one of the best. negative space was used well to help the poster flow. i like the manipulation of the cigarettes actually being the bullets in the gun. the phrase was cathcy and was very persuasive. i think maybe the text could use some manipulation but overall a great poster!

This is a really good poster. It gets the point across with a catchy slogan and the pictures. And i like the fact that you didnt use the persons whole head. Also, the balance of your poster was very well thought through. the dominant colors are on one side, but the color of the "bullets" and the text balances it out, so that is really good. Your font choice was good aswell. It kind of reminds me of an article in a newspaper ad. But overall this is probablly one of the best posters that i like. nicee job

This poster is my favorite. The artist used a great idea pointing the gun at the head with ciggarettes as the ammo. So i think that that's the strongest part. The font is kind of boring but the spacing between letters and words is used well. The smoke coming from the cigg is a great addition because it adds reality to a real smoking gun and the cig. It flows very well and the message of the poster is very clear. Great job Rachid

This is a great poster with a powerful message. The imagry of the gun with the cigarette in the barrel is very unique and interesting point of view. The text is simple and to the point, making it very effective. The only problem is the visiability of the cigaretter in the gun. Overall this is a very successful and persuasive poster

I really like the idea of the gun and the cigarettes used as bullets it was a very clever idea. You have a good dominant point with the gun pointing to the boys head. I really like the slogan and your text choice was great. nice job.

THIS IS MY FAVORITE!!! I think the whole consept is extremely creative, almost humorous in a weird way. The poster does a great gob at using negative space, and the picture of the gun and the mans head are the main focal point. This poster immediatly converys a message, and a very strong one at that. The background being white, allows the image to stand out and be seen for what it truley is. I also like the simplicity of the font. Cigarettes being the first word you see draws you down to the picture and then to the creativ saying bullets that dont need a gun. I think this poster is so effective because it is straight to the point, and makes you look at this topic in a different way. The positioning of the mans head and the gun allow the poster to use all the space, and make the text in the middle to be more dominant. Overall, fantastic job on this poster. its a winner! way to be creative and innovative!

I love this poster... i think the message is so true, and the words are so catching! most people don't think about it that way, but seeing this poster really makes you realize the horrors of smoking. this is poster is so simple yet it says so much! and i like how in bullets in the gun are cigarettes, it really adds to the piece. This author did a wonderful job getting their point across, and i believe that nothing is wrong with it, i"M sure a few tweaking here and there would be fine, but other than that it truly is amazing! and the back of head i feel symbolizes that mystery of smoking dangers, since it not only affects the person smoking but people around them too! no one really knows who is being hurt in this picture! GREAT JOB!!!!

This one is my favorite. you dont even need to have a qoute in this picture, it really captures who eve is looking at it, it amazes me at how simple it is, yet im sure it took awhile to think of this. the dominating part is the gun with the smoke it was very clever
good job!
