After the final crit on my three finished posters, and also after the production of the brief that ran on from this, i decided to go back and re-visit my posters.
The only criticism i received on my posters was about the text being too small. i tried to address this as much as i can but feel you can clearly see the type from afar on the finished posters. The other comment was about the blue and red layers being a little bit confusing to look at. I understand what the trouble was because blue and red layered on top of each other gives this 3D blur kind on look. I tried to move the blue layer closer into the red so it just looks like a drop shadow kind of effect on the imagery. I feel now that the colours work well to give the imagery depth but are not too much on the eyes to make your vision go blurry and find it difficult to look at.
The other thing i changed about my posters, which i feel has improved them lots is the stock and colours slightly. On the Proverbally Yours - Message and Delivery brief, i decided to go for an antique white stock and darkened the red and blue ever so slightly from the posters. I think this was one of the reasons why i got so much good feedback on the crit, therefore thought it was sensible to re-visit my posters to match this. I am pleased with the final look of both these briefs now.
