The colors and graphic are very engaging. Though the text gets lost. The date needs to be a thicker font. Possibly create a text lockup. That will help it sit better on the background. The band names, that will take a little more finesse. Placing a stroke on all text is a tad too much. The simple white outlined box in the lower left works quite well. Look at that system as a possible option.

I know I say this a lot about your designs, but if there is one thing I think you could do to make all of your design better, it would be to simplify them. This is very busy and hard to read in areas. The main title is very hard to read and barely legible. I would go back through this design and make sure everything is legible above all else.

if possible highlight the background.

It seems like the text is just plopped on top of a background design and doesn't fit in with it.

I would also suggest making the the text bigger and the background simpler to accommodate this. The readability of this gets lost.

Try making the text solid and BOLDER, and black disco ball maybe? that could make the text pop State the the venue again following "10pm" What kind of music? cover charge? "Starts" - start followed by an s

I'm dazzled by ur poster after looking at it more :)

Right off the bat, I think this design is amazing! (I seem to be giving a lot of praise today lol but I'm being completely honest, I swear.)

Your colour scheme is almost appetising, incorporating a lof of bright, bold reds, pinks, purples and blues - reminiscent of berries and candy. Your use of whitespace is very well executed and the text is laid out intelligently.

My only peeve (and it's a tiny, tiny peeve...) is that there seems to be an overuse of font styles i.e. alternating colours, strokes, cases and the like. It hampers the continuity a little and can be a bit confusing. For example, I'm not sure exactly who's doing the music... is that an upside-down heart and a zero? Are DJ ai Whitelands and DJ Lola 7/24 JKT one person, two persons or three?

I hope this helps! Nicely done though!

I some people has this before but this is far too busy. When I'm designing something one way I know it's too busy is if I have to outline my text to make it stand out. Simplify the background, make the DJ's more of a focus and make the event name easier to read.

is sometimes better! I get what you are trying to achieve here but as Nate so rightly pointed out it's soo busy, that it's hard to read the text.

To many colours that are constarsting together, I alos think (getting back to the text) that it's all a bit skew wiff not straight, and is that was the effct then it needs to be done better.

below are examples of posters that stand out and and quitte a lot less busy:

Good luck!

there is a lot going on and my eyes are bouncing all over the place. I lose the "title" in the swirlies and there isn't really any hierarchy to the information.
