Thanks, guys... regarding the first, i wish the quality of the original would have been better - but i love the motive (NY skyline trough fence), so i put every effect/filter i could find on it lol. "Glorys not dead" is kind of special... it is not that don't like the fighter avatars. I like them. But putting them on posters, i always had the feeling they don't match with the used images or lower their quality. I tried it 2-3 times, the posters were ok, but i wasn't really happy with it. Ideas ok, rest meeeh. So i really needed to make one i'm satisfied with... so now i never need to use fighter avatars again lol.

 

Here is another one i made yesterday. HYYYYAAAAAHHH!!!

Props for making a poster look good using fighter Avatars, very creative too!

Trying some new things out lately:

Thanks man, and good stuff there... your version of "writing on the wall" looks awesome, and Rob knows, i tried this several times and always wasn't really satisfied with it.

Those were the first two btw... well, as i started with posters i used small faces, but that better be kept in the archive lol. The ideas are good but it somehow does not click/something's missing... dunno.

Chinaski is the alter ego of one of my very favourite writers, Charles Bukowski... so i really had to put him on the poster lol.

ROFL I was just thinking that sometimes I see pictures used in posters that I've seen gazillion times before and no matter how cool the poster is it throws me off a bit. Anyway I can't say that here lol

 

e. For example all the space/earth/impact etc pictures bore the f out of me heh.

Btw, Dee... what is the name of the small bitmap-font you used in your last posters?

I have huge problems with my fonts all the time when doing small writings... dunno if it's mabye my PS version (CS5 stolen from the interweb). Tried to fix this with Rob's help once but we found no solution, they just never look sharp.

It's not thaaat bad as i am no perfectionist like Rob or Pepsi where everything always looks ultra defined/sharp (and with that i have a way bigger choice of motives i think which i enjoy), still it's a bit frustrating for sure. Even with my favourite font (HoueseGothic something something, the one i used for "Visigoth vs Chinaski" in the last poster) it is always a big struggle cause the font looks different with every selected size. Small sizes don't work at all which is ok, but even the bigger sizes make problems... 30 works for example, 31 is problematic and 33 looks good again.

Any ideas? You guys maybe can recommend some good fonts for small sizes? They do not have to be freeware.

Btw, Dee...

I hear you buddy. I have the same struggles here and that's exactly why I used that matchworks font. My knowledge of photoshopping is _very_ limited. All I can think of in this case is that sometimes you have to try to "fit" the text a bit. I mean if you move it a pixel or two left or right the text clears sometimes. That's the very best I can offer with my 1337 ps skillz LOL. =)

I like this =)

You're posters are definitely improving!

I would recommend adding a border on some of your posters. You'd be surprised the difference it can make at times.

 

 

Here are couple of new ones:
