Good job working with this. Your detail is good and the use of the computer to complete this has seemingly worked well for you.

Color choice for heading and lettering I feel were the right ones. The Untamed title grabbed my attention right away and wondered what it was about. Immediately my eyes went to the caption underneath. I feel it works well for what you are tyring to promote.

The advertisement published formally with the organized format. I like the fonts that designed specially for the discovering of the art miracles.

Comment from Rita Galvan


Very interesting, it shore calls
my attention, the images to
the right and left of the center
remind me of precolonial art
made by the native Aztec and
Olmec in Mexico, and the
colors they used too. Good
work.

Comment from Robotkin


It is an interesting and somewhat intriguning invitation and I only wish that I was not a few thousand miles away to come and visit...drafting an 'invitation' poster is very difficult because after you list the times,,,dates,,and venue,,you then have to go on to make it as apppealing as possible grabbing the atteniton of the onlooker and then using the most persuasive words possible to motivate them to come to the show...I suppose that if you keep it as simple as possible and eyecatching ...you may have a winner...anyway good luck with everything...Rob

Love the colors here, initial impact is really startling. Great job with the shading and the overall focus being something a little different using the different colors. Well done.

Comment from Gunner Smith


I think the card looks to red or to busy. I don't know it just does not look like something I would be interested in. I guess I would call it junk mail or spam. I don't understand why you put it on this site for review. If your the artist that did the pictures on it they are to small to see and again something I would not be interested in looking at or reviewing. But you asked and I am giving my honest opinion.

    Gunner Smith,
    Yep, that's what I asked and so here is are a few answers back at you: I placed it under commercial art here on this FAR web site because to me the design of the card is a part of art, composition as it is called, and that is what this is posted. It is called advertising and promoting your work or a show you are in, again that is the art of communication and I wanted to see if it did what I wanted it to do; So that is why I posted it. Then just for clarification the image behind the ?Untamed? is mine. The red brown earth tones were used to catch your attention. The images are there to tantalize you and make you want to look further at the card. If this type of art does not appeal to you then it doesn't (I know they are not erotic nudes). Hope that clarifies your questions about the art and the reason for posting it and by the way thanks for the look and the review, very much appreciated by me.
    Take care and cheers!
