Type as Image... Final Posters

Here are my three final pieces for the crit for the type as image brief. [See development] 

1.
This column will change your life
Made on photoshop / Printed A1 on to cartridge paper

Feedback:
- Colours work well together
- Like the subtle shadow behind "there are probably...more examples"
- Good idea
- Would work well if it just said millions instead of the whole quote


2. 
Relationship Maths
Papercut out over photographs, scanned in and printed 

Feedback:
- Needs photographing with an SLR camera so that the pictures don't go pixelated when it is printed A1 size
- Unique idea
- Make the background less grey


3.
Doctor Doctor
Made in Photoshop 

Feedback:

I have printed this poster to show in the crit, but I am not yet happy with it. I spent ages altering the kerning of the letters to try and retain the legibility. I've asked for some feedback and this is what I have received, so I will go back and edit this before printing A1.
- Make the letters in grow wider as well as taller
- Could keep letters the same size and extend the swirls
- Consider colour choices and layer effects
- Idea is clever but would work better landscape (but has to be portrait)
- Could work without the swirls as there is too much going on
- Hard to read
