V I S U A L L A N G U A G E : campaign poster completion

Here they are. There are several changes that have been made since my last post. 
  1. Scaled down the size of the "vote" stamp in the upper-left corner
  2. Removed the background texture from over the images
  3. Reduced the size of the distressing on the text in the lower-left corner
  4. Made the sleeve smaller to allow the text on the Mudra poster to be placed in the same area as the Lotus poster
  5. Revised the text colors to match the stamp colors more closely




My critic with Josh was very beneficial. He recommended that I introduce more texture into the text and the background because the crispness of those elements was contrasting in a negative way with the aesthetic of the imagery and the stamp. He also felt that the text placement was working more effectively on the Lotus poster because it created a strong, left alignment. The placement of my text on the Mudra poster was at the time right aligned because the sleeves hung too low to allow it to be placed in the same position as the other poster. Because Josh recognized that I was trying to creating a system in order to create a series, he advised me to modify the sleeves in order to allow the text to be placed in the same position and both posters and thus unify them more. 

I was fortunate to receive such genuine feedback and I'm glad I took Josh's suggestions because I feel it made a positive change in my posters.
