SPEAK

In general, I like this a lot. Great impact. However, it made me want to join a protest fighting censorship... it did nothing to make me want to debate anything. Find a way to emphasize debate in the graphic or the text or both.

I think the background is fine... thats just my option.... However I would work on the graphic on his shirt to make it look a little more like its printed on the shirt. To me it kinda looks like its just put there.

This is really good. It really draws my attention and make me want to read what it is all about. I would left align all of the text on the poster. Right now it steps and doesn't really look right. Great work here though!

Love it! I'm all for activism and raising voices so this one struck me in one swift blow and I'm sure it'll have the same effect on your target audience.

I wouldn't change much of anything but I think you could really perfect the whole design if you'd cut down on the white space just a tad (there seems to be an unnecessary abundance of it), maaaybe add a border of some kind (although I'm not sure how well it would work out), align the title and date/time/location but most of all...

...why is he wearing a second poster? I had to stop and take a second look and just ask myself that question. I mean, I was totally drawn in by the guy with the duct taped mouth and the powerful heading but then I felt as though I had to convince myself to squint and read what was on the poster within the poster.

I don't know how large a format this poster is intended to be printed but, I'm just wondering, wouldn't it benefit tremendously if you used those same elements, in the same layout, in the actual poster itself? You know, logo centered on the bottom, copy aligned to the left, next to the guy, etc. What do you think?

Speak up!

This is a great poster.Maybe tweak the image on the shirt and make the white outline a little more "wavy" as if it was on the shirt/ Maybe lighten up the face just a tad.

But I love it. Awesome dude : )

You should def. keep the background you have got, adds more depth!

I would remove the background and then replace it with a white or gray tone. Otherwise it's great.

It conveys its message very clearly. Good work Jerry.

Very nice. And yes, maybe plain white background make it better.

Change the background to white and you're all set to go.

I believe that people should in five seconds know what your business or ad is about. I see the head line and it tells me something but not specific enough.

Hi Jeremy,

I really like this and think it is an attention grabber. The only two things that I would suggest to possibly consider would be to bring "2PM," closer to "...09," and If the yellow poster/paper is supposed to look like it is actually part of the T-shirt then I would change the lighting on the yellow paper so it looks fitting and purposeful. Maybe consider tacking it on with a safety pin, clip or something to that extent.

If the yellow poster/paper is supposed to look slapped on, than I would try to make it distinctly that way. Maybe consider angling it a bit more, up size it a bit and/or even have it fall off the page a tad?

Right now, as you have it, it seems a bit in limbo.

I like your purposeful placement of the heading. All the words align to something and the word "University" leads the reader to the duct tape. As you trap the eye of the reader in the whitespace after "2pm" and the student it helps the "confined/trapped" feeling that your trying to generate.

it looks like there is a bit of a pattern on the guy's shirt (bottom right) - you should photoshop it out - otherwise very engaging image

The message is clear, and the call to action unmistakable. Good job!

Really grabs your attention, good design for a poster trying to do just that!

It's really good because I alredy see that kind of concept (tape on mouth) . But the contrast of the picture change everything and it's look like newer. I'll put out the shadow near the head at right.

For the typo it is great but I'll align it on left and it can be a bit smaller.

The poster on shirt should be really on the shirt. It float right now.

What's great it can be a 2 step publicity. One the guy with the poster and second only the yellow poster. Or the inverse.

It's great design, powerful and it grabbers attention But not for a debate club...

Two things here. First, the BE and the Heard should really be two different colors OR have slightly differnet font characteristics - spread, height, etc..

Secondly, the image of the man is good but a little dark on the right side. A basic brightness adjustmnent would liven this up

i wouldnt change anything at all..this is already very good and straight to the point..^_^

I would left align the black text, and the word "university" is too close to the face. Otherwise, very nice poster!

Yeah, at first I wasn't sure what the poster was for. I thought a club to talk about problems. Please emphasize the fact that it's a debate club more.

Other than that .. awesome idea!
