Trying to do a poster for a movie i like. I know it doesn't look good, but don't know why. What is missing? How can I improve it?
>>
>>459511
The red texture on the title looks low quality and gives a bad contrast to the background. I think it would be better with a flat red font.
>>
>>459511
–The proportions of the poster seem... too tall. Was it imposed?
– It does not tell a story and does not evoke a reaction.
– The title is kinda hidden, at the same time it does not looks to me that it wanted to be hidden. It feels that you placed there because it was the spot that you had left. It also makes it look like is "floating", it is not resting in no imaginary rule(s).
– The tree branches is the back are a mess. I don't really know what I want there, but I don't like how it is now.


Recommendations:
– Take a look on some Pedro Panetto videos about poster composition. They are in pt-br.
–I like the collage feeling, but you need to have some rules of composition. Take a look in the book Grid by Thimoty Samara. Panetto will help you better if you have a deadline.
–Don't get me wrong, it is good as it is now as art, but the title is really lost and the art overall should tell more about the short film. This could be done in the title, the color, a detail on a tomato, e detail in the background, etc, you do not need to change everything.
>>
>>459511
you have no sense of composition
>>
>>459518
Yeah I had to upscale te texture and it lost quality. I did it because I wasnt liking the flat red, but it might be better, thanks

>>459519
I didn't want to hid the title at all
> It feels that you placed there because it was the spot that you had left
thats exactly why I did it hahhaha, but yes i struggle a lot with composition just like >>459531 said, and didn't know where to put it
Oh, and this is not a job, I am doing it just for fun and to try to get better at design in general, so no deadline or requests
Thanks a lot for all of your hints man, really, I didn't expect to get such a detailed help. I will look into all of your recommendantions, study and will comeback with the next result.
Btw, cê é brasileiro?
>>
>>459533
>Btw, cê é brasileiro?
Yes. That's why I recommended (and know) Pedro Panetto, kek. I will still talk in english so others anon can understand what we are saying without the need to translate it.

>I am doing it just for fun and to try to get better at design
As you are studying it is a good start. I can see that you know your way around with the tools, but still need to develop the project skills, composition, how to tell a story with a single image, etc. Keep in mind that everything in a (good) poster should have a purpose to be there (i am talking about the title that was a afterthought of your part).
All things considered, good job! Keep it up!

what's the name of this design? how does one achieve the composition and the colors in illustrator? is it even in illustrator since it's made in early 1900s.

I'm having trouble doing this in vector just with gradient blocks because of the edges.

Issue is that some edges have to be feathered/gradient while others must remain hard.
So your chin for example, it needs a hard edge where it intersects the white space of the canvas. And your shading on the upper nose should be soft.

I've tried setting the objects to lighten/darken so the gradient doesn't burn the canvas, the effervescence option is good when you want no hard lines.

As a raster editor it's extraordinarily frustrating not to be able to just brush in contours, I often resort to post-edit with rastor

You could have a foreground shape on top to retain the hardness.

Necromancy time. So I designed this for my EU4 larp. The idea was a vassal state of the Angevine Dual Monarchy of England and France, Duchy of Transrhenania, ruled by a cadet branch of Anjou dynasty, situated in Rhineland and Baden-Wuerttemberg.

Don't listen to these guys anon, this is good stuff. Everyone could use work but it's still good.

Whether it's good or not a lot of it's barely like collage- traditional C&P layout techniques and collage aren't the same thing.

There's a kind of randomness that emulates collage but misses the point that the elements you use in collage are in distinct layers that still look like layers even in a rendering or photo. You can blend that with standard layout for text but the more you size and align text on a grid the less it looks like genuine collage and just a computer flyer.

Some of these aren't bad but they're noticeably sure what they are and kind of lifeless

they look like the filler content meant to be delted by real design in low-end mock-ups. Analyzing the designs, they aren't saying anything. it's just a meaningless mashups.

That's what a lot of acid stuff is. You have the usual high end where the guy makes the main font from scratch. A lot of it is just the usual suspects slapped together though.

I have 25,000 images like pic related. Old timey engraved images. I found them in old books from Internet Archive before it went belly up. I cleaned them, vectorized them, converted them to backgroundless PNGs. Where can I sell them? I'm trying to get 250 - 300 USofA dollarinos a month. Etsy? What image service should use? Do they even exist anymore?

Also, you have a freebie in pic related.

With my current setup it takes as little as 8 seconds to do. Going as fast as possible you could easily translate that much without automated scripts within a week.
>>
>>459130
That's only if you are lucky enough that they don't need cleaning. In my experience, there's always small paper artifacts, dots, smudges, and so on. Plus rotating, cropping, and other small adjustments you need to do depending on each image.

I've tried doing a project with repetitive tasks before, which was really easy, but I had to do it hundreds of time like a graphic monkey. It was absolutely soul crushing
>>
>>459135
Technically speaking even the pic on the OP has flaws. Getting a "perfect" scan is half the battle. From there the process is greatly simplified.

I'd recommend (if you find the task itself repetitive and daunting) to outline and script your process. That way you have the easy repetitive work done. From a marketing perspective, potential clients may favor broken or warped vector scans for a greater "distressed antique" feel.

Ultimately the true value comes from it's source and the efforts needed to repair them. If that is your market I'd advise you to heavily advertise the work you did to repair them. Otherwise that work might go unappreciated.

OnlyFans.

If you are going to do this make sure you have solid records of what pic came from where, whether it's public domain, etc in case you get into legal trouble

Also this. You're competing with a lot of people. Unless you have an established brand nobody will want to buy your stuff
