4 more posters designs

This year I am feverishly working to replace my old poster designs with an entire new set. With that being said, here are four more!

Going retro with the first two posters!

Groovy maaaaan.

Stand back, this one is hazardous!

I'm still on the fence about this design. In my head, it looked way better. I'd love to hear you comments about this design.

Thank you for looking.

I like "Groovy Maaaan" best of the 1st 3 poster designs. I think the last design would make a cool "trading card".

I really like the last design the best, especially with that player pose. Love the 3-D effect, like he's running out of the poster. Depending on the player's pose it might not have the same effect, but this one is awesome.

wow really nice and great job I really like 1, 2 and 4.

#4 looks just like a sports trading card

hmmm, I don't know here. The graphics are so incongruous with the theme of football, it looks a bit like the Laugh-in logo. Maybe beach volleyball or something similar, but I don't see frilly graphics like 1 and 2 for football.

#3 has some interesting possibilities, but seems to stark for the purpose here. I'm trying to determine when I'd use something like that. I'll keep thinking...

#4 is the one I would pick given these 4 options, but it looks more suited to Rollerball than football, or the "Running Man"

Sorry, my $0.02

No worries, Tim. That's your opinion, no harm done.

I know not everybody is going to like them. Each time I create a new design, I like to get feedback from forum members before I actually start selling these to customers.

I did have to look up the word "incongruous"...never heard that one before. What is "Laugh-in logo" mean?

love that last one

Thanks guys for the feedback! You comments will definitely give me something to think about.

It's funny how I see my own work. Poster #4 was my least favorite. I felt it was incomplete and lacking something. I just "threw" text on the wall to fill the voids. I'm happy you guys like it!

#3 was my favorite. It's a sleek simple design with a lot going on in the background. I'll prolly do something else with the text. #1 & #2 are a close second because they were so much fun to design.

I'm not an expert, and can see from your work that you know what your doing.

But, IMHO, #3 was too simple, and the radioactive/danger theme just seemed a bit out of place. #1 is very cool work, but it had a bit of 60's-ish look (reminded me of the Laugh-In show....

) and the graphics caught my attention more than the player. #2 puts a lot more emphasis on the player. #4 is very cool; I really like the 3D effect. What application are these done in?

Hi. I'm not a pro and like everyone else said these are cool and you look like you know what you're doing. I just thought I'd add that I had to make football posters this year (for high school) and got my sister the art director for an ad agency, to critique them. the biggest thing she gave me crap about was the font. For football, she said, the font has to be bold and aggressive. No curlicues. no thin fonts either. So like your first 2 posters would be cool for gymnastics, but not so much football.

To me the nuclear one is neat, but could use more pictures in the empty space, and maybe could be color coordinated with the team better. I like the matrix one too except for the #2 thing in it. What if each square had another photo in it?

You sure can make photoshop do some neat stuff!
