I'm going to sound critical here but..
These are things you should work on here.
1) Too many repeating characters.
2) Shadows are all different or there aren't any. Try to be more consistent.
3) Clean vector art mixed with blurry cars doesn't look right
4) Those bright colors might not print as bright.
5) texture in the lettering; is that popcorn? Maybe use a solid color, gradient or image inside the letters.
6) Pacman maze lines are muddy. Try to get a clean vector version or just redraw them. It'll look much better.
Other than that, nice work. ;D

Thanks for your input.
Now 1) so your saying that it is not needed to put the same kind of design concept on all the areas that get graphics!? I was taught to never forget about continuity, theme is the key to a good design. 2) correct on the shadows.3) work in progress. 4) I also print these myself on a Epson 7600 ultrachrome and the colors do come out really vibrant. Just have to know what setting to use when printing.And when laminated it gives it another boost of gloss. 5)didnt like the type?.Its a diamond effect. when backlite gives a good looking glow to it.
Its good that people like you point out stuff like that , it helps in the finishing process. You tend to overlook simple things like that because you have been looking at it for so long you just don't see it. I'll do some changes and more work on these and re post.
