Nice illustration. It might be better if it were simplified even more or some texture was added to make it a little more complex. Either direction would make it more visually appealing.

Work on the colors you use. Right now there are a lot of colors and most of them are pretty standard. Try limiting your use of color a little and stepping away from your standard reds, blues, and yellows.

Try incorporating the fonts into the illustration more. Meaning the style of the fonts and the composition of where they're placed. On this poster a hand drawn font might have worked better with your illustration and if you incorporated the copy with the illustration more you'd have more room to enlarge your illustration.

Hope that helps!

Is this an actual picture of the poster or the digital file that made it. Seems like a sad situation for the bear. What did he do?

Jermaine is going to be sad.

So will this be a 5 color screenprint? If so, think about how much mileage you are getting from each screen...that seems like a lot of work for the image you have going on there. Also use your colors in different areas, think of how they can make your image stronger and how they can relate if they are printed on top of each other.

will the bottom be cut off? if not, it looks like a blank spot promoters use for admats.

the illo could be better as well.

Get some more color in there. I see too much white. Prioritize which areas need to stand out and how you can address that problem with color selection/placement.
Don't be afraid to ditch the computer and do your seps by hand, too. Your drawing style would lend itself well to the hand-made approach. Just my opinion.

Thanks fer the feedback, all good.
Was hoping people wouldn't be able to resist......

I've printed this poster at A2 size & can dig the comment about screen milage. Burnt all the layers onto one Screen & rotated it.

Really do wanna get more out of the colours, this is the 4th poster i've screened so been building up from two colour, three then this one five (just to try it).
Mainly using Ultramarine & Cad.Red/Yellow, be cool to play with these and use some of the many other choices out there.

Before i always used a computer with old images i'd found and computer fonts.
Now i'm trying to draw EVERYTHING on the poster so the computer font was the main thing I wasn't happy with.

Will keep at it and offer another one up for post-mortem when it's worth it.

I don't dig on screenshots. I like to see the real thing on paper. Could just be me though.
