wow! I like this one! from a distance you can see a weapon, but up close you understand it has a deeper meaning! Details show careful thinking about the approach! good job!:)

I really love this! The toys portray the silhouette of a gun really well!

I would possibly try having a less central feel to the poster, I would try a more dynamic sense of composition.

The use of toys works well as it allows the viewer to see what you are trying to say quicker than the other design. Out of the two it is definitely the most strongest! you should continue to work away at this approach I feel it has a lot of potential.

However I also agree with Grace. Especially on the typographical element of your poster. I think you could introduce a different design style that would be more visually appealing than what you have currently. Consider your use of alignments and perhaps even change of scale within the text.

I really like this design...the gun can be seen clearly but at second glance you can see the toys.. a powerfull message. My only thought...do you need the cartoon girl at all...maybe looks quite playfull nd happy..maybe your message could be portrayed without her?

I really like this one Cathrine!!
NICE=)
Maybe its an idea to scale dowm the toys a little bit and put in some more images?

Matt Preston said...

Yes this is much better Cathrine!

I think people walking towards it from far away will realise it's a gun, then up close they will see the children's toys.
I do like the central placement of the gun, but it might be wise to try out some different compositions to see if the gun has more impact placed anywhere else.

i think it's really good and the quote and image work alot better together than the other one with the nursery rhyme :)

Personally I dont believe it needs to be set in a different composition to work well, it works great as it is.

Moving it about or changing the size you may well lose the impact it currently has, being centrally right in front of you.

It obviously works great as it is as this is one the most commented pieces, so somethings obviously right about it!

Personally, I think you have this spot on.
