GarryP Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 I have a few comments and suggestions if you are open to feedback: 1. There’s a thin white line down the left-hand side of the design, about a quarter of the way across from the left. That might have come from not having a Pixel/Image layer aligned to the pixel grid. 2. I would lose the ‘pumpkin motif’ unless it’s vital. 3. I would think about making the ‘group of three’ a bit larger. 4. I would think about making the ‘morphing-pair’ larger and a bit more transparent, maybe behind the “Whispers…” text. 5. It might be worth trying to add a (horizontal-ish?) gradient transparency to the whole of the “Whispers in the Dark” text, rather than making just “Dark” a bit darker.

Alfred Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 In addition to Garry’s observations, there are stray line breaks (most noticeably after the words ‘eerie’ and ‘style’) in the block of text at the bottom of the poster.

GarryP Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 I can’t remember seeing that sort of description on a movie poster, but I don’t really look at them that much. Actually, come to think about it, I can’t remember the last time I saw a movie poster ‘in the wild’, so to speak. Maybe that text was just a kind of ‘filler text’ where the ‘shape’ of it is more important than the content. AKM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKM Posted October 6 Author Share Posted October 6 (edited) Hello Guys Thank you for your suggestions, I have made the edits and this is what I see fit to my imagination along with the suggestions. The text is only the filler text and not anything to focus on. I don't want to use lorum ipsum so I made it up. Changed the text too. It also made the text more mysterious and changed what It used to look like. Edited October 6 by AKM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 It’s much better to add the new version of the image to a new post so that people can see the transition from one version to the next. As it is now, the comments from myself and Alfred don’t make much sense to anyone seeing the current image because the image has changed from that which we were commenting on. Would you be able to reinstate the original image and then post the new version in a new post? Alfred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKM Posted October 6 Author Share Posted October 6 Ok, so I have reinstated the original image and put my updated result in my comment so that members can see the changes after your comments. Is that ok? GarryP and Alfred 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarryP Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 I’m wondering if the blur has been used on the wrong words in the title. “Whispers” and “Dark” seem to be the key words, the words that people might remember, so I might expect to see them more pronounced than “in the”. Or maybe it’s the right way round, it’s not my poster so it’s not for me to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarryP Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 And that’s absolutely fine; if you have made that artistic decision then it wouldn’t be right for me to argue otherwise. AKM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree with @GarryP. The two words are much too blurred. I think your first version of the title works better. If you're selling something artistic visions may not be a good idea.
