    The ONLY thing that needs work is how bright and dominant the foreground is compared to the background.

    Perhaps combat this by making the top and bottom edges of the white foreground grungy and decaying, this would keep the theme but allow you to have a clean white colour for the typo so that it still stands out.

      You're talking about the quarter-inch margin around the whole poster, right? I think what you're saying is that the white is too clean and bright for the grunginess of the rest of the poster...?

      Nope. The bit I'm referring to is not the white border, thats cool, but the white background that all the typography is on top of (i.e. event date and time etc).

      You should grunge the top and bottom edges of this area to tie it into the rest of the background so that it isn't so dominent.

      Hope you understand.
