Description I'm happy with this... but as usual, I'm left with a nagging feeling that it's just not what I was aiming for. I've gotten rusty, I think (not that I was ever that sharp to begin with). Luckily gigposters are an excellent opportunity to try new techniques.

Dancing on the Valentine VI
Strangelove: A Depeche Mode Tribute Night at the Crocodile Cafe

The illustration is not mine, it is from an old British lifestyle mag from the 60's.

I just love your design choices on this project. You picked some great fonts and the efficient two colour make the design stand out. Love it. I love your entire gallery as well. Much success to you.

Hmmm, not too sure what you think is missing here. I'm no expert, but it looks good to me.

I like the color scheme. The dark purple/blue is a nice change from a solid black and the "gritty" texture of the outline of the couple is really nice. I also love their perspective and placement.

The one element I'm not fully certain about is some of the splattering on the lower half of the poster. I don't dislike it, but I'm more partial to the hearts in the upper half of the poster.

The fonts are great, especially the title. Doesn't appear that you have lost any of your edge. At least not to me.

Love it!
All of your gig posters make me want to see the gigs that they're advertising for, so you're definitely doing something super right.

I completely love the surreal falling feel of this. The retro illustration with the halftone works really well too!
