Support capital punishment

This is great. The photoshop on the mustache is really good and this totally convinces me to agree with capital punishment. I don't know if I would've made the needle so big. when talking about killing I would've made that bigger. It would show that killers deserve to be killed.

Good point Ray... I am glad you made mention of the needle. It weakens the composition... I agree.
However... no where in the poster did he mention "killing" and if you are refering to what he did write... what part would you make bigger?

This poster does a great job in getting the point across of what you want the viewers to be persuaded to do. However, i feel like the composition could have been stronger, maybe having more of a flow rather than separate items. I also agree with the comments on the needle, but i also think that maybe the words "Support Capital Punishment" could be larger. The convict was done very well through photoshop. Overall, it is quite successful.

although a fairly well done poster; i do not like it. i do not like how small "support capital punishment" that is the main thing the poster is conveying and yet the text is so small. the text did match with the background. I feel the image did not really match with the background at all. but the spacing used in the poster was used very well. the poster had a very serious feel to it. and capital punishment is very serious. Also i agree with what the other comments mentioned about the needle, it just takes too much from the poster.

This poster conveys a strong message but is lacking compositionally. It seems like there is too much going on, between the text, the needle, and the convict. I think the text is very overpowering except for the most important part; support capital punishment which should be more dominating than it is. The needle is large and precariously placed, while the convict is small and shoved in a corner. I think that the mustache and other additions make the picture less believable. This poster has potential and with several changes, could be very successful and persuasive.

I think this was a descent piece of art but in my opinion not one of the strongest. One of the things that I would change is make capital punishment a lot bigger because that is the thing you are trying to get across. Also I think it does get the message across but not in a very strong way, but I do like the overall composition of the poster because I do like the idea and I think it works really well. Overall I thought this was a descent poster but I do think a little more could of been done to make it look a little better and professional.
