Lower the drinking age

I think that this person had a clear message about his issue. I think the background is kind of boring, but with so many pictures i myself can't think of anything else to do. Speaking of the pictures, i think you choose good ones but i feel as though there just put on the paper. But other than that i think that the words flow nicely from the top of the page to the bottom. They were great pictures, but overall i think that it was a good piece, maybe a little more time and it could be better.

This poster has a few things that need help, but could become pretty good. I agree with S. Yung that this person had a message, but needed a little more time to develop the design. The text is creative and I like the style but the design is overwhelmed by it and the pictures combined. The dominance is in the big pictures, and the compete for attention, causing the onlooker to go up and down the design with their eyes. By eliminating the clutter pictures, and emphasizing on a few the design could become more streamlined and dramatic. The idea is good, the design just needs a little more improvement, but I like the concept.

looking at it from the web site thou, as a small image it works, and is actually quite creative, I could see it as like a place card in a restaurant or bar, which is what the design is after, so as a smaller image I think this works

I think that this is my least favorite (sorry!) its just because its way too cluttered. I get confused as to where to look. But the color scheme is good i like the contrst from the yellow to the green. But i do think that your text font changes too much, so the readability in some spots are really hard.

same here. This poster needs alot of work. Not to be mean or anything but this could be done on Microsoft word. Two many pictures and it doesnt look professional. I mean mine sucks too but you could do so much better with just alittle bit of work

I agree with just about everything everyone else has said, but i do think that the poster has a strong meaning to it and has alot of potential. The piece could just do more photo touch up other than that i like the flow.

i agree 100% with the message this poster is trying to prove...however it is alittle sloppy. theres just too much going on. all the pictures seem to be randomly placed and distracting. another issue is the fact that the word "allowed' is half in white and half in black. that just doesnt work! lastly, on some of the words you used a gradient...it takes away from the message! nice try. has potential.

Horrible. It seems like your persuading me to go beinge drinking. Or feel free to die from drinking, b/c you can die in the militray fighting for a cause to save your homeland. I think you could have done a lot more on this, it seems like you copyed and pasted the photos on there. And on one picture there website you got it from is still on there. sorry i think you missed it

I think that this is the weakest poster on the website. It is just cluttered with random, poorly cropped, low-qualitiy pictures that provide no balance at all. The background is dull and boring with barely any negative space. The negative space that is present does not lead the reader around the poster in any way. The text is also placed improperly and does not help with balance either. Too many words are emphasized in too many ways and it does not read clearly. At first glance "die" appears to be the start of the phrase. To improve the design, the author should eliminate all the pictures except the two larger ones, leave the background blank, and resize and replace the text to make the idea clear and concise.
