Title: Marquee Artwork feedback
Post by: BlinKY1337 on July 14, 2006, 07:58:47 pm: Still needs some cleaning up to do before I bring it to get printed but It looks pretty good so far i think. It matches my CP and front end layout which I included in the links below.

I was going to say it's impossible to teach you, you should just hire me to do it for you... >:D

But seriously, it helps to have an expensive image editing tool like Photoshop and a moderate knowledge of how to use it. And in this particular case, finding some comic book art you really like.

Post by: gamecreature on July 18, 2006, 02:55:37 pm: You've got a nice, clean design. If I had to make any changes - and you probably don't, I'd suggest a less saturated blue for the marquee - for some reason it doesn't suit the Wolverine art at all. On the CP, it's a minor quibble, but the break in the logo allows for the border line in the background to come in and visually break it up. This could probably be fixed by putting a little background underneath the logo to hold it together.

Post by: BlinKY1337 on July 20, 2006, 12:26:43 am: I understand RGB and CMYK just fine and i was concerned about this happening when I was gettting my cpo printed but it came out perfectly the way I wanted it too, and if it doesnt i dont pay for it so we'll see what happens this weekend :)

Excellent work. I never was fond of red in my designs, but I love how the colours work together. Throwing in two of my favourite Marvel characters doesn't hurt neither ;)
