If this were a sandwich. It would be a poop sandwich.

Beta Minus 001 :

doesnt look like Phil Collins for crying out loud. Interpol is totally legible. type is fine. i agree however that the cartoon aspect of this works against it. Metropolis is a dark movie and Interpol at least tries to be a dark band. i dont think this pop art primary color look suits them much.

alienate :

i agree with most of the comments.. i think it needs more working out though. the robo paul banks and the headline aren't friends. together they unfortunately look too cartoon network, which doesn't quite give off interpol's barren-pressed vibe. i would have liked to see the interpol done straighter and kept within the inner border. let the name speak for itself. right now it feels like the two images are fighing for my attention. i have absolutely nothing agains stealing ideas. everthing's stolen from one place or another. but if you're gonna steal, then steal, don't borrow.

Cody Pomeroy :

not a bad poster, anybody can pick out the "Metropolis" takeoff I'm sure. Always liked the typeface that was done in. It does look like a Robot Phil Collins tho.

jasoncross :

yeah dave, but you more than get by with all that grunting and pointing. And though this is not my perfect design for Interpol I can read Interpol quite easily.

Seripop,
I just checked out some of your work. MY poster is hard to read?
Your points regarding the type treatment have been noted … something for me to think about in the future. You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but I have not yet encountered anyone who has seen the actual poster and expressed any difficulty reading the headline.

I knew it was the Metropolis poster at first glance.

it's new wave as all fuck-out.

RichieGoodtimes :

That ain't bad kerning. I see it as a challenge to the viewer to look more closely and really draw you into the poster.

seripop :

ok first off on the "interpol " type the strokes are totally uneven making it very hard to read look how wide your "i" is compared to the "p" it doesn't make any sense visually also the smaller info is not kerned- you would really need to fix the spaacing when doing type on the computer it just doesn't read well basically the type looks like it was just done added on at the very end for the best results u should plan and included yr text from the very beggining the text is also crowded- u shpould have put more space between the headline and opener. that's all for now.

Josh1031 :

Some constructive crit. Thanks. Actually, I was going for a current look with some allusions to the deco style.

2003-02-13 23:17:24

seripop :

the interpol type just looks wrong it's all funy chunky and has no real sould the art deco type doesn't really jibe with the futurist illo and the placement is awkward how it goes is people are alway ripping ideas off. sorry i'm really tired and english is not my first language

2003-02-13 23:17:12

HYNES :

well it could be worse.. the font itself harks back to deco styles, but the "interpol" and rest of the poster has lost any of that original feel, thus making the deco style font look out of place with the updated look of the rest of it.

2003-02-13 23:10:59

HYNES :

eh.. overrated

2003-02-13 23:07:25

Josh1031 :

That's the way what goes? Regarding the type, how bout maybe some constructive crit?

HYNES :

Nice is underrated.

2003-02-13 23:06:38

seripop :

weird was me trying to be nice hmm it's quite similar huh? well u know, that's the way it goes.

2003-02-13 23:04:53

HYNES :

Seripop - the type on this is horrible. The origanal is quite art deco. I'm drunk.

2003-02-13 23:02:51

HYNES :

Pisstake, takin' the piss, etc. It pretty much does mean satirising, but in a less intelligent sense. Heres a bad jpg of the original poster, http://www.allposters.com/gallery.asp?aid=73315&item=1390.

2003-02-13 23:00:44

seripop :

i don't like the type it's weird i'm sleepy

2003-02-13 22:35:19

Josh1031 :

Never heard the term "pisstake" before. A page I found through a Yahoo search says it is the UK term for "satire." Is that correct?

2003-02-13 22:31:43

HYNES :

Does'nt anyone know their design history?? Its a rip off of the the old METROPOLIS film poster by Schulz Neudamm from 1926. Not sure if its supposed to be a pisstake, but if not its a rip-off.

2003-02-13 22:13:44

Josh1031 :

A friend of mine thinks it looks like "The Robot Phil Collins."

damn.
