this poster has alot of potential overall i like the poster it presents the message you are trying to get across. the one thing i would change about this poster is the dark square in the top left corner i find it to be unecessary and maybe replacing it with an alternate image that also displays something that has to do with racism would work better, other than that nice job.

This is a cool poster, i really like how you mixed their bodies together, it must have been a little difficult to find two people whose heads were similar. I also like how you used a verse from the bible as you message and it it makes us think that there is more of a reason to not be racist than just being a nice person. This poster effectively shows the message, the only thing is im not too sure if there is 2 black people at the bottom or not, i think the guy on the left is white but his skin should be lighter to easily show what you mean. With the lettering maybe you could make them closer or link them together, they seem kind of spaced out awkwardly, but i really like this poster

While this is a good idea, I think that the poster doesn't look complete. It looks like the two heads aren't finished being combined, and the torso looks like it was quickly done on turn in day. This poster has a lot of potential, I think it could have been done a lot better.

I don't think I understand this poster. If it weren't for Mr. Caponi's title above it on the homepage, I would have very little idea that this was about racism. I do not think that the feathered grey block was a successful attempt to balance the poster, I just think they made it look cluttered. I also think that they red text did not work over the grey block at all. I liked the idea of the two faces blending together, but the images to not go well together, and both of them should have been adjusted in levels to have better contrast and saturation. Proportionally, I think that John 15:12 is way too big, and dominates the poster, when it has very little significance.

I think this poster is very weak in its design. I really do not understand the message of this poster, and how it relates to the picture. It is very blurry, and poorly done. It doesn't look like you put any effort in to it. You do have some good ideas, like the blending of the two people. I think that is a clever and original idea. The John 15:12 is very dominant which isn't a good thing because I don't think that is your focal point. I think it isn't well balanced either, because you put both texts in the middle which is a little distracting. Overall this poster was very weak, and it didn't succeed as a persuasive poster.

Overall this poster has a lot of potential. I understand the idea you are getting across now, but rather than a person combined, maybe try holding hands... for a while i wasn't sure what the poster was about either only due to the fact i was unsure about the races of the two people. This is a great idea, but does not succeed well. with some work with flow of text and making it work with the picture, along with composition this could be a successful poster.

I thought this was a good idea but the poster didnt come out succesfull. It almost looked like it wasnt finished because the two heads were not even. I think the poster is balanced well though. There is not too much negative space. Also, i think the John 15:12 sticks out a little too much. I think that they should have made it similar to the other writing so it would have been balanced better. I think the message in this poster is very unclear and confusing.

Although there were good ideas behind this poster, I felt the composition was weak overall. I agree with other comments that the "John 15:12" should have been smaller. Its large size and placement toward the center of the poster make it the focal point, when the picture of the two people mixed together should probably be the dominant figure. I also think the red text falls too close to the edges, which is somewhat hard on the eyes. While the gray block would help to balance the composition more, I feel it could have been done more creatively and effectively for this design. With a little bit of tweaking, this design could be more successful.
