alright listen shane, i say you get a 7/10.
Your piece is very interesting and your use of words gets the message across clearly and in an almost humorous way. i think you could have went farther, but it looks good with what you used. Great job overall and kepp up the shaneness :D

The dominant element is very hard to see and understand. There is not rhythm in the work it does not seem finished with all the blank space To many white areas with only some blue, the work doesn't feel balanced. Overall the composition is not complete and it does not visually satisfy.

I know that these were not the colors that you used in the original project, and it's too bad that it turned out like this. Still, it doesn't look quite done. The words at the top look cool, but the overall project doesn't really persuade me. I like the line at the bottom, it is very funny. But the poster doesn't have a dominating effect or rhythm. i think you spent too much time on the words and not enough time on the image.

Also.....i think you could have did more with the negative space because you had a lot of room for more potiental elmemnts to make your design better and your message stronger, but i still think you did a good job with the detail in the cigarette, i really looks real! Also the smoke and the drippy blood were good ideas and you did well on makeing them seem as real as possible.

I feel like this project is unfinished. I agree with michael in that the words looks really cool, but it looks like you spent too much time on that. The picture doesn't persuade me very much. IT is the dominating aspect of this poster, but it isn't very persuading. Your dominating feature needs to be the most persuading part of your poster. There is good blanace, but there may be too much white space. I like the recurrance of blue [even though that wasn't the original color?]. You just need to tweak this and finish it and it'll be great!

This poster overall i feel wasnt done. I feel that there is to much negative space and you could of used more space. I also think that you have more than one focal point in your poster. I also dont think the poster is balance with all the white space. I like the slogan at the bottom and i like the way u made the word "kill" that was kind of cool, but maybe you could of made the words a little bigger.

I would say that this poster is unfinished. Theres is not enough color and too much open space. I also think the spacing and balance could have been done differently to make it better. There is not really a lead in either, and there is too much negative space. Overall, i would say this poster needs some work

The dominant element is very hard to see and does not really get the point across. The rhythm does not flow at all. The poster dousn't seem finished with all the blank space, there's negative space. I think you should have incorperated more color. Overall the composition is not horrible, but it could use a lot of work. i would give your poster a 6 out of ten at the highest

I think this poster has potential but its not finished or well thought out yet. The dominant element is the cross over the ciggerette, i mean it gets the point across but it doesnt do it in a appealing way. The words above and below the dominant picture are hard to read and look king of sloppy. The balence isnt to well either but i think with some work and planning the poster could work out well

Overall I think that this poster doesn't really have a good balance to it. Nothing really stands out in the composition which enables the point to get across. Blank or "white" space, which is typically a good thing, really does not work with this poster- it is too dominate. I feel as though with the topic chosen there could have been a lot more done with the poster inorder to create a better image. The phrase used also does not go very well, I feel like not many people would look at that and take it seriously. The colors used could have been something more bold too, blue doesn't really work with the piece.

Hola senor,
This poster could have been worked on a little more but this doesnt flow at all and it might see that you go over the top with the killing part because you dont always die from smoking. The colors was not right for this at all it just doesnt work. May be if you made the kill and dead another color and bolder it might of worked you just would have to place them in the right spot. over all it needs to be worked on a little more

I feel that this persuasive poster could use a lot of extended work and effort. The color choices do not balance, and it gives the viewer a mixed impression. The dominant image is unclear and is difficult to the eye. There is too much negative space, which throws off the rythm of the poster. Although the balance of the poster is mediocre, I feel as though it is not proportioned to its full ability. Refering back to the abundance of negative space, that gives the spatial organization a lower result. The composition of the poster has potential, however I feel that more effort should have been put into making the overall message more effective to the viewer.

Well, plainly it probably could have been done on microsoft word...The design looks like you took shapes to create you image, and then just threw in the text on the top and bottom. Smoking has so many aspects that can be used in a poster, and with photoshop you can do anything. There really is very little dominance, and it just doesnt look like it goes together. I dont mean to crush the design, but it needs some work.

This poster tried to have a strong message but came with a weak support system. The overall piece doesnt look done and doesnt really express any photoshop skills. Also the colors i think should be different and the blue is to calm for your message i think red is imprinted in everyones mind when you talk about stopping something. Overall their is alot more that needs to be done here.

i know im not suppost to comment my own project but it isnt suppost to be blue. something in the jpeg was messed up and all the colors were flipped :(

Brian C said...

Yes everyone....
Just so you know, the colors were supposed to be red, where it showed up blue. Can't figure out why... but just so you all know.. Way to go Shane, to argue back. The rest of you should do likewise!!!!
Bonus points for you Shane!!
