We Are Perfect

"we are perfect in only one way... ...no way" -quote author's name

editorially: to me, the words don't make sense. its contradictory.. you're first saying there is one, and then saying there isn't...? and the phrase "no way" has a meaning of disbelief.. for example: "you got the job??! ....no way!!" that disbelief possible meaning of the addition no way at the end confuses the whole thing. so.. i wish you would find a different quote about perfection, and how there is no such thing.. just a suggestion. im translating this to mean: the only way we are perfect is the fact that we are not.. but it was difficult to get there.. it doesn't seem to be worded well yet :/

visually: i think your colors are fantastic, but think you have too much texture and grunge applied. and i also agree that the "thing" in the C is distracting.. but maybe that is the one imperfection? if you do want it to be mostly perfect, with one imperfection (which i think would be a better concept for this kind of quotation..) you could take all the grunge away, and only have one defect to one letter.. ? or maybe one of the letters could be peeling up...? or it could be spelled wrong? im sure you'll come up with something awesome~

Hi Ben,

I agree strongly with miranda.

I like the colours but the quote doesn't make enough sense straight away.

I like the contrast with the distressed texture but think this could be done with more texture/subtlety and detail.

I think everything else other than the texture though should be perfect so typography attention to alignment/spacing has to be perfect and it isn't.

I like the alignment of the quote above the we are. Then the line-height on the we are and perfect is smaller. Think it should be the same as space below the quotes at the top.

In only one way does not align to anything.

The No way and quotes at the bottom don't align either to the right.

The quote itself is eyectaching, if a bit confusing, amd the eroded nature of the text really helps to define the nature of the quote.

You might want to remove that small indentation (?) under the top of the letter 'C' in perfect though, and maybe also add a full stop sign and the author of the quote, i.e. you, if you decide to publish it somewhere.

The quote itself doesnt make much sense but putting that aside i like the use of colours....not too fond of the size of the last two line think they should be bigger.

I love this phrase. I wonder if it would be more impactful if the "No" could stand out in some way. What about making the "No" perfect, with no erosion?

The top quotes also remind me a little of NorthFace.

I think it looks great. If I would have to nitpick, my eye is drawn to that gray shape thats inbetween the red "C" and I'm not really sure what it is. Either make it more prominent and meaningful or take it out. I also think that the right side of the top quotation marks seems a little out of place. Maybe they should line up with something?

I'm not sure the placement of the first speech mark works. The eye/mind struggles with this just a little too much to take the focus away from the words.

Could they be placed in the normal position remaining the same way up as you have them. Then the bottom line moved to the right so the start of those speech marks line up vertically with the last letters of ARE (E) and PERFECT (T).

I would remove the (...) after IN ONLY ONE WAY and (...) in front of No Way. Think this would give the words themselves more impact. Maybe an apostrophe after IN ONLY ONE WAY.

To give a more positive spin visually you could downsize the negative NO and up-size the last WAY.

Cheers
