    OK you anal retentive bastards who are helping me enormously to make this poster so much better, I chainsawed the trees.

    I can NOT get the text to look natural with a center-alignment on the left-hand side. The details included in the lower section will likely change. I like the overlap a lot, i hope it's the right amount.


    • More space inbetween logos, even if it makes them smaller. Are you able to quickly paraphrase the "What is the..."?
      Assume I'm stupid. 'cos I am.

    • I think the main title should be over multiple lines, so bigger, and should overlap the graphic underneath, as it does in turn the details beneath.Nairn
    • yeah i actually caught the spacing issue as soon as I posted it here. edged the "city of trees" up a bit. --I don't understand your question though?sarahfailin
    • I used to do music promo posters. My main thing when checking was making them like 5-10% on screen, squinting, and seeing what bits stood out.Nairn
    • One needs to abstract themselfffrom the process and see it anew, without context or presumption.Nairn
    • also, the top of the yellow band should drop a wee bit, as a minor thing.Nairn
    • Do you have the main graphic as a vector? You could the text drop behind her, in between her head and the back of the graphic, covering ARAD in paradeNairn
    • @sarah - are you able to explain what the 'City of Trees Parade' is, in a short sentence?Nairn
    • Justify bottom left main text, nix the www. to make the url bigger. put a shadow under the joker's hat.Nairn
    • fucking hell, i read my ramblings here and wonder what sort of idiot could let that pass their editorial process.Nairn
    • You’re too close to the edge I think, might pose a problem when the posters are cut, I’d say increase the padding all around and it’s perfect._niko
    • Center the fucking type. Jesus :)monospaced
    • Also this is a huge improvement.monospaced
