Well first off, the image is very powerful and gets your attention and it was a great image to use. The image of the mouth is obviously the dominant part of the poster and I think that he made a good choice with it. I also think that the text balances well with the image, it keeps the whole work balanced. Also I like how he put his message at the bottom and it is really clear for the reader to understand his message. I think that the font color could have been a little bit different, but it isn't a bad choice. Overall I like this poster and the message is easily undestood.

I do not get what the person is trying to say. Is the person trying to promote kissing or stopping crystal meth? What if the person doesn't want to kiss anyone? But other than that the poster is pretty good. I get a sense of a western poster when i see this work of art. There is a large variety of colors that are being used, but none of them are too intense or bright. This poster does have a dominance or prominent shape that is centrally placed; the mouth. Also the poster is very crowed so it is hard to read, my eyes goes all over the poster and it does not have any pathways into the central focus of the poster. My eyes do not read this poster from top to bottom. But overall this is a good poster but could use some touching up.

Well while i don't enjoy looking at this gruesome poster, it does make a great point. Showing anything as graphic as this is sure to stir up conversation and debate, and the poster does a great job fighting crystal meth. However i don't like the font in general, both the style and the color and i think they should be changed. The clone stamp tool was also a little sloppy. Other than that its a superb composition and drives a very strong point

I like this poster. The artist's use of the mouth picture really hits home with me. I mean it's true..who would ever want to kiss someone if their teeth looked like that? I liked their use of color throughout with the pinks and reds constantly drawing me back to that image and really burning it into my mind. Crystal meth and drugs in general are a large issue, and this is persuading me to be ^ the influence. Along with the pinks and reds the black relates well to the black on the teeth and continually draws me back to the main focus of the picture. To improve this, i feel that they could have changed the font and made it consistent, but however this is a successful job.

I do not think the poster is a powerful. The picture catches your eye but only because it is gross. It is not a poster that is super interesting. I also think that the colors used were wrong and should not have been used. The point of the poster was good but the way it was portrayed was not good. It didn't make much sense talking about kissing and crystal meth. Overall, the poster was okay but it was not a poster i would actually take time to read. I would just look at the picture and think it looked gross and turn my head.
