I have to give the five stars because of the fact that you did exactly what you set out to do, catch the viewers attention. Very effective and well done.

Comment from buckeye
Lots of wasted white space here which I find very distracting. The colors at the top are very nice and vivid. Wish the image would have been bigger so we could read it. Thanks for sharing

Buckeye,
you missed the part this is the front and the back of a postcard, maybe I should have placed a boarder around the bottom image so that would have been more clearly expressed and made the white space better understood.
thanks for the review, and cheers!

Comment from jhillman
This is an interesting graphic art composition with plenty of wonderful eye catching colour. The wow part of it i is very good indeed though I would have presreed to blend that into the rest of the page as it looks quite separate from the rest. There are a couple of other issues however. I feel the image is too left heavy and also the lettering embedded within the wow surroundings is unclear and indistinct. I do a lot of posters like this and would not make those fundamental errors.
Good luck with your exhibition!

John,
you are reviweing this as if it were a poster, it is in fact the front and the back of a postcard. if it were a poster then i would agree with you and know this I would have laid it out differently, but it is not.
so... you have to re-asses your review... because as it is written it does not apply to this image. the bottom of the image being shown on FAR, is the back of the postcard so that is why the right side is banck... it's there for the mailing address infromation.
thanks anyway, have a great day and cheers!

Thank you for the information - that is why it is so unbalanced.
I have reassessed it and regraded it. I still need to dock half a star due to the unclear message on the WOW side.
Best regards
John

Comment from The Jester Artist
I like the picture,
However theres really not just to it. It's just a design to promote your art, but wheres the real art.
Sorry if I didn't get it.

Mayhone,
Designing is art and doing layout and creating lettering is art, in this I did both so that is how it qualifies, make sense? it is advertizing art, it is getting people to stop and to look, if it did that then it deserves a higher rating.
thanks for the review, like teh notes sday did it make you want yto look and turn over the postcard? if yes, it worked and that is one way of dertming if the design is good. know what I mean?
take care and cheers!

Comment from Snopaw
Nice job with the design of this postcard Lucien. I would say it does an excellent job of making you want to read exactly what is it all about with those great pattersn and bright colors. I guess it would matter what crowd you are trying to appeal to. Nice job. Shirley

Shirley,
I'm trying to appeal to anyone that has Curiosity, to come on down... and then they can judge the artwork on display for themselves... and believe you me, there is some WOW! artwork on display.
thanks and cheers!

Like the idea of the shameless self promotion.
Great main design, love the simple pattern and the brilliant colours.
Gives people a good idea that there is some good stuff to see.
Thanks for sharing this, Mark

Comment from Anne
Excellent the way you have done the wow and the beautiful bright colors you have used. The colors through the middle of the word are interesting. This should really catch a person's attention. I hope it works for you. A very creative approach.
