    Like the illustration, but the type is just lacking the same life and depth that the illustration has. Try exploring some typography effects.

    Really like the color palette and the way light is used!

    you have a very soft and nice image, with a neutral color pallet and then a font that is really amateur. Switch it up for something a little more graceful.

    The image here is really great. It's very simple but it immediately evokes the right feelings. I feel that the typography right now is weighing it down, when really it should be mimicking the image. I almost want it to play off of the footprints, so maybe play around with that. Definitely change the typeface, I would recommend something very soft like the image.

    more 'organic' background under the turtle

    Posted on Aug 27, 2009 at 12:51 PM

    I feel a disconnect between the type, the super cool mood of the poster and the background of the turtle. Looks like he's crawling on metal - which makes me think he's been captured and is about to be soup. Yes, I can see his little squiggles, but I would love sand...dirt...something more organic and maybe that could lead to a less confusing type?

    image and font

    Posted on Sep 05, 2009 at 11:46 AM

    I was some what confused with this message, i get it after i read your explaination, but at first glance i thought this turtle was dead. maybe its the soft light on the photo, which envokes a certain heavenly nostalgia or something, maybe use an image where the "fight" is more action based, and i would experiment with the text alittle more, i like the dali-esc cursive but its kind of elementry school too. my 2 cents.

    Change text font and color

    Posted on Aug 23, 2009 at 2:23 PM

    The image is really beautiful and soft, however the text is not complimenting the image. I believe a softer color of the text and a little more elegant font. To me, the font used is a little difficult to read.

    One last suggestion might be to try flipping the image horizontally. The western world reads left to right, and the turtle pointing towards text in the right-hand area might work better (?)

    love the image, i just can't tell what the first word is.

    try cleaning up the text a bit and it'll be much more impacting.

    nice.

    Change the fonts

    Posted on Sep 22, 2009 at 2:09 AM

    I think it passes the idea through, only the font needs changing.

    Nice image, nothing to change there, but the biggest weakness is the type. Colour, chouce of font, effect all come into question.

    I like the lighting effect/glow from top left to bottom right on the image, how about using that effect to stylize the type, as in know out the focus and blow it out from top left to bottom right.
