i think that this is a good poster. i like how they showed the gun in the puff of smoke. it clearly shows that the person is against smoking and he showed it in a very clear way too

wow. This poster rocks. The overall design is very good, and the smoke turning into a gun is a very cool effect. Suicide is a bad thing, and showing the smoke compared to be a gun is very persuading. There is not much that i would have changed on this poster. I like the design and all of the elements in it. The gradation in the background works very well, and his face having a highlight goes well with the text..great job

i think this poster is one of the best ones. It really gets to the point with the gun coming out of the smoke and it really does show that the person is really against smoking, also it is very persuading, hopefully people look at this poster and see what smoking will do to you. I think everything in the poster goes really good with everything...good job

I think this poster is really strong. The gun in the smoke is what makes the poster really creative. I think the photography overall was good, and the picture is clear. There is no confusion in the message and the use of text was great. I think it is true that smoking is suicide and the poster does a great job of supporting that.

I really like this poster because it gets the message across very well. The gun in the smoke is powerful because it shows the message. It shows the true effects of smoking and I think that helps the design as well. The work feels well balanced and also flows pretty well because the smoke leads you into the gun, which is the message of the poster. Good Job.

I really like this poster, and it is very successful. The grey tone is repeated through out the whole poster and it is done very well. The text works perfectly reflecting the tone of the smoke. The poster is very well balanced with the smoke, person, and text. The gun within the smoke is a cool element, and also gives a pathway to the persons head. Overall this is a very good design and i can not think of anything that is wrong about it.

i think that this is definitely one of the best posters. it has a clear message and it supports it by showing it in a strong way. the thing that i think makes this a great poster is the gun. it is a really good idea and it is strong and effective too

I believe that this is one of the better posters in the class. The overall design is very good and the effects of the smoke were awesome. I like the use of text because it stood out and makes you think twice about smoking. This poster should be able to persuade a lot of people not to smoke because smoking is really suicide and it's sad that some people don't realize that. Overall a very good poster.

this poster is really good, and is my favorite one. The overall message and design is really good. there is flow in the poster going from the gun through the smoke to the person doing the smoking. I like the way that the artist changed the levels on the guy it put emphasis on him. The text and everything went together real well. good job

I think this poster is perfect really, theres nothing i see wrong with it and it really gets out the point. Also i didn't notice the gun until i looked at the poster a little more. Thats what makes it cool, you dont have to study it to see the message. The words, font, color, and placement are great, good job

I believe that this is one of the best posters on here. the way that the gun came from the smoke clearly sends your message that smoking kills. Everything spaced together perfectly. the text gave a very serious feel to it and smoking is a very serious subject. Great job!

This is a very successful poster. The message is clear in what you are persuading the viewer to do. The composition is strong, and it is also well balanced by the large text toward the top, so the picture doesn't make the poster seem too bottom-heavy. The colors are chosen well, and you can tell that the poster was well thought through. The gun made by smoke is a fantastic idea, overall-Great Job!

deffiantely my favorite poster. it clearly portrays its message. honestly the only thing i may have done was dropped the opacity on the gun a bit so it looks more like the smoke itself. also do a few things with the clone tool to make it seem like it is litterally forming out of the smoke. other than that, the image is good(the cigarette looks believable), the text is just strong enough, but doesnt overpower, and the colors match evenly. excellent job!

This is one of my favorite posters! I really like the paleness of his face against the black background, it really makes him stand out. I think that the cigarette looks a little fake and like it was copy and pasted on their, but the smoke is amazing. the gun blends in really well with the smoke yet it still stands out. It could of stood out a little bit more to match the boldness of the word suicide. I thought the font choice was pretty good and the poster overall is really persuading.-Lucia Kollat

this is an amazing poster. the message of how bad smoking is is well portrayed. i think that the levels on ian should be adjusted because i don't think the contrast works well with the design. i also think you could have done a better job with the gun because at first glance i didn't even see it there. you could have made it stand out more but still fit in with the smoke. but i love the font choice and placement. i really helps balance out the poster. the poster has good composition and a strong message. this is one of the best posters i've seen so far.

This is definitely the strongest poster out of all of them. I love that you put the gun into the smoke, and it emphasizes the suicide text a lot. I love the message it brings across, and how it relates to the picture. The balance is very well done, along with the composition. I like how you balanced the white text with the dark background. The dominance is good, because the boy is larger. The only thing I would have done differently, was try to blend in the gun so it looked like it was coming out of the smoke. But, really that is just a small thing. And overall I really love this poster, and was very well made.

This poster is really good. It relays a true message, in a very bold way. Many people dont take smoking as being that bad of a thing but the poster lets you know it is. The smoke changing into a gun is also very smooth, and a good effect.

Unknown said...

out of all the posters i have commented on, i would have to say this is the best one in the bunch. i like how the person figure is the most dominant element to the message. it relates to the issue very well. the rhythm is clear and flows very well with the smoke and gun in the smoke. i like how the balance between the smoke and the person balance and aren't competing for the attention. proportion wise is very well planned and organized, along with the spatial organization of the text and the other elements. the composition persuades me to really think about what smoking can do to you and that you are only killing yourself. the gun coming from the smoke is what really makes this poster a excellent success. awesome job!!

this is one of my favorite posters. you did really well at displaying the message by placing the gun in the smoke and having it pointed at you. you really used the tools on photoshop to make a good poster. i like how the poster is short and to the point. its not crowded with a lot of information but it still proves that smoking is bad for you. i also like the simple black background because the cause is bad and you do not want a happy color as the background. over all i think this poster is strong and displays the message clearly.

This poster is one of my favorites. I liked how the person used a gun in the puff of smoke because it related to overall message. The balance of the text and images is good because their is not any noticeable blank spaces. The proportion is also good because none of the pictures are distorted. I like the contrast on the picture and the levels as well.

I think that this poster is very strong. it does a great job of grabbing the viewers attention. The message is conveyed very clearly. The gun forming in the smoke is extremely creative and appealing. I think that this persuasive poster has a lot of positive aspects and there is not a lot that can be improved. It is simple and serves its purpose.

In my opinion I think this was a really good poster and was the strongest out of all of them. I thought the composition of the poster was great and I really liked how the smoke turned into the gun like that because it looks real. I also thought the way the head was positioned looking up towards the text works really well too. Overall I thought this was a really good poster and was the strongest out of all of them and that this person did a very good job on it.
