No offense, but try and keep the criticism to a little bit of a higher standard.

Thats a bit uncalled for honestly.


I think the 1st one is a lot better then the one u made that u sent me.

Nice work.

tbh idk i write down what they told me to write x.x

I think the layout to the second one could be better. The middle of the pictures is visible. Other than that gj.

Oh so they trusted their main way of letting people know whats going on with you?

Good luck chicks dig this sort of shit.

And i love it apart from the far out title.

Fine, fine, then. Let's do this. I don't know what the hell is Kwanzaa and if the design/colors are representative of something so I won't comment on that. I can say, however, that the text is misinformative. Are you also celebrating youth leadership in the rexdale community along with the Kwanzaa thing? Or is it a seminar of some sort? It's weird and not clear.

The second one is just bad all around. If you're being paid to make a design you have to bring more to the table than an amateur handout. We're in 2009, and with all the tools you have in a computer, it's unacceptable to hand in one that looks like it was made in Word.

The "Project Learn" font is kind of tacky and positioned oddly. The two images are supposed to draw attention to the poster but seem to just divert from it. If you're going to blend them together, then blend them together, the point of the feathering is lost when you have a huge space between them. Also, they are not centered correctly or big enough to draw attention.

The font from the bullets is outdated and boring, the words in them don't quite make sense, and the grammar is all wrong. If you're going to start 1 bullet with a capital letter, start all of them the same.

"Join us every Tuesdays 4PM to 7PM" should read "Join us every Tuesday from 4PM to 7PM". Drop the s from tuesday, the "from" is optional, but I think it's better.

The background is too simple for a professional level if you're not being simplistic overall.

Also, the contact info doesn't quite invite people to call, the wording could be a lot better. And are you sure you aren't missing the place where these things are going to take place? Because even if you're going to paste this at the door of said place, you'd want the flyer to contain that info.

What I am trying to say is that if it's a job, and you're being paid (or not) and if it's going to your portfolio as a designer, you could do much better. I'm not even good with photoshop and I could come up with something better. These lack the professional look.

well the first 1 i did on my own, but the second 1 i had a professional designer help me with and he said this is exactly what there looking for so yeah buh appreciate the criticism

He can't be that good of a professional if he's willing to overlook all the grammar mistakes and ambiguous text. Keep that in mind.

A grammar mistake is a grammar mistake no matter how 'professional' he is.

Grammar was neither any of our fault he helped me with the design and color layout, the grammar mistakes is the company/event holders fault. What i was told to do is have word for word in the flyer to what they gave me

/bump for Critiquing

+1 for pornfish comment. I don't know which "professional" told you that 2nd one was ok, it's probably the ugliest.

I'm not good with the graphism terms in english, so i'll try to explain the best I can what I think about the second. You are trying to make a symetric creation (the 2 pics leads me to that conclusion). But neither the text or the photos are put at the right place. The background is just plain boring, and the color doesn't fit the message. You'd better learn what colors mean.

The fat black girls on the right pic ruin everything.

its images off google >.>, the pictures were nor supposed to be symetrical, what do you think the colors mean? colors r colors they cant define a mood on how they r putted on paper
