Give people a second chance

Overall i think this composition could have been stronger. The message is clear but it could be hard to read to some. i think you changed the fonts too much and they dont mesh well together. It is not well balanced and the the spacial organization was not well planned out. theres not really any dominant figure or if there is its hard to determine what it is. nothing really jumps out to stop the reader, i like the message i just think it could have been stronger.

I think this poster could be improved in many ways. There are way too many fonts used in this poster, and there are also too many colors. It is too complicated, but there is not really a dominating effect. I think this person should have used an image other than the dice. That would have helped make the poster more persuasive. There is too much space in the middle, and it makes the project look empty. The fonts don't have a nice flow either. I think it is a nice idea, but there is much room for improvement.

I feel that this piece of work could have been much stronger. First of all i would have to say that there were too many different color fonts and font types in general. When you are designing something to be persuasive you dont want to use a bunch of different type faces and colors because it looks like there is too much happening. Also it does not really show me what you want done it says to give a second, chance but a second chance for what? Third the use of spacial organization could have been used more effectively there is too much space in the middle. I would have to say that this poster still needs some work.

overall i think that this poster has some flaws. First there is not an even flow of negative space throughout the composition. Also I was not able to determine what the dominating figure was in this poster. Also the "A" is lost because it is two dark of a figure on a dark background. The hyphen between second and chance takes away from the poster. Also the leading on second chance could be larger. I think that there is now flow throughout the poster and that the bottom block looks more like a buisness card than a poster. However the message is clear and i understood the corrolation between dice and a second chance.

In this poster, i think there could have been alot of work done to it to make it better. i understand that you want to people to give others second chances, but there is nothing in what you said that makes me want to do that. The words dont persude me enough. Also, there is too much empty space in the middle which leads that too be your dominant space. You dont want to that to be your dominant space because it isnt anything that helps with your persuasion. The work isnt well balnced which means that its harder for your eyes to flow through the poster quickly with getting the point across. Its not that it is a bad poster, it just has alot of room for improvment.

overall I think this one sucks. it has no point. But i get where your coming from that everyone needs a second chance. I like how the dice express chance since it is always the "luck of the roll".

This is the worst poster in my opinion. The text is very poor. I don't understand what you were trying to do with the block that highlights the lower case a. also the color use is horrible. the text goes from red to maroon to green? the text that says second chance tuesday at the bottom is very pixelated and that looks unproffesional. i dont undersatnd why there is a picture of two dice thrown on there either. The negative space is not creative at all, and there is way too much in the middle and not enough at the top or bottom. there is no flow what so ever to this poster. it just jumps from the top straight to the bottom.

oh yeah and the leading of the first second chance is way too close together

Less words, More pics. Use more space.

I think that this poster is my least favorite, but with some work it could be better. I understand the give people another chance part, but i don't understand any part of the poster. The text is really random (font, color, spacing). The negative spacing isn't used properly. I think the box at the bottom isn't necessary, it draws attention away from the important stuff. I like the picture but it could be displayed in a different way which would make it more effective. I think a little more time Bill, and you could have something.

In my opinion this poster is horrible. There is too much negative spacing and it doesnt flow at all. The leading between second and chance is way too close together. I understand giving someone a second chance but i dont see the point of the part on the top and the poster really doesnt get your message accross. The dominance in this picture would be the bottom of it where everything is surrounded by black. I dont see any balance in this poster. You dont have any flow in your poster. If you would have spent a longer amount of time and developed the idea more and just came up with a completely different idea it could have worked.

Hey BILL, as i said it class i just don't get it. I think this could have been an awesome thing to persuade people, you just did it kinda wrong. I agree with everything ashley said. It just didn't flow. I did like the dice though, throwing in the idea of chance with them. Bill i think you could have done a lot more with your time in class, instead of watching youtube ha. I think you need a second chance to do this so, idk try it again

I think this one could have been done much better. There are way too many font/color/style changes, and it makes it seem crowded, unorganized, and hastily made. It also looks very empty because the picture used was too small, leaving quite a bit of empty space in the middle. Another thing: what is the message? I don't really understand it, possibly due to the confusing slogan and the picture that goes along with it. Overall, i think this could have been greatly improved.

This poster really needs some work. It is unclear and there is way too much white space in the middle of the poster. I also don't understand the use of the dice. There is also no flow to this poster and there is terrible balance and spacial organization on this one. You could have made the colors different as well to make it a little better. You also should have thrown in a picture somewhere

hhhhmnmmmm well were to start. i complety understand where you were going at with this piece, but the use of all the negative space could of impoveed. the qoutes were right on but the way you positinon them needs to be done in a different way. i think the dice was creative, but as far as compistion goes once agian rearranging some parts could help out alot, i didnt relaly see a dominatting factor in your poster nor rythm it seems all just thrown on the poster. i think some rethinking will help out.
