[Almost Human] Vector/Vectoria

[Almost Human]

Images here are watermarked and low res, but I need design opinions because colours and text are not my forte.

This is the first in a series:

Texture, yes or no?
Text okay?
Colours?
TELL ME YOUR BRAIN THOUGHTS

 

[Bandages]

texture v. yes
font/text v. yes
colors good oj/blu contrast yo

top one is better I think, but I like the color of the skyscrapers in the bottom one a bit more

 

[Almost Human]

That was a much quicker response than I expected!
Unfortunately it's the texture I have that changed the colour of the bottom buildings so I'm not sure if I can fund a way to preserve that colour AND have it textured, but I will have to try!
Also looking at it now, I think I have to change the little man a bit, his legs look pretty weird....

 

[He said fully erect]

First one looks better, though the text of "science" pops a bit more on the second.

 

[catGenes]

The first one looks more like the sort of...World-Of-Tomorrow old-sci-fi style I think you were going for, but I personally like the bottom one better. Just clearer to me, I guess.

I like me some bright colours though, so on second thoughts, ignore my preference. =3

 

[Almost Human]

Cat: That's my issue too. I love the old look and feel, which is why I picked that style, but I also adore over saturation and crazy colours.
I am torn!
But I think I will go textured, maybe if I ever sell prints (psh yeah okay ) I'll offer both but for this series I think I will try out all textured.
I think I found a way to make SCIENCE pop more, fixed the little man, will post in a moment.
I also made a logo that I was going to stick on each poster but I just couldn't make it work on here. Again, I'm indecisive, between lines or no.

(oops forgot to watermark. Sorry about the watermarks guys, I trust you but I've been warned that someone less trustworthy may be following me again)

I probably wont use it for anything, but it's fun to have.

 

[Almost Human]

Okay at this low of res, you can't really see the difference in SCIENCE but in the high res version it's noticeable.
I think at least.

 

[catGenes]

I am jealous of your arts. They are so clean and awesome!

But I do prefer the lines on the rocket. More pop.

Disclaimer: I am not a professional in any way at all so feel free to disregard!

 

[Almost Human]

That's the beauty of vector art, it's all so clean and tight.
I loves me some vector work!

And do not even worry, I am not looking for pro opinions, just honesty from people with functioning eyesight. You don't need a bachelors in fine arts to know if something looks terrible!
So keep it coming!

 

[He said fully erect]

yeah, the text there looks way better. the logo seems a bit busy by logo standards. i'd ditch the shading, personally, just to go more minimal with it

 

[Kamikaze Scotsman]

I like the right rocket better, but I think maybe a tiny bit more contrast, maybe? It seems just a little flat.

The revised science poster is awesome and beautiful and I would buy one. It kind of make me think of Bender.

 

[Almost Human]

HSFE: Minimal is usually better with logos, maybe that's why I couldn't make it fit? Maybe I'll see if it will go anywhere in the next one, if it does I might try to fit it in here too.
I love digital work, you can always go back and edit haha.

KS: Yeah I don't know why, but a lot of my work tends to be low contrast. It's something I'm working on fixing but I always lean that way unless I purposely force myself otherwise. It's really weird!
He does kind of have a bender feel to him. I think it's probably the arms. Or the rounded head? Whoops, none of that way probably on purpose haha.
Prints do sound like a fun way to pay the bills...maybe I'll look into it.

Either way, up next is MATH!

 

[kaos]

I think math is evil and should be kicked in the fork.

good luck though!

 

[Almost Human]

Shoot I had such a clear vision for the math one when I was drunk and now I can't make heads or tails of my sketches!

 

[Kamikaze Scotsman]

Does this help (do you even remember posting it?):

Oh and another one with cartoon ghosts that says "MATH! It's like magic but with numbers!"

I also hope you make the other idea you mentioned:

One of my poster ideas involves a guy uppercutting a (possibly robot) dinosaur and it just says something like "Every journey begins with the first step" or something else generic.

 

[Almost Human]

OoOo yeah! Thank you! I knew I had mentioned it somewhere but I couldn't find it when I looked back through the chat.
I'm not going to lie, I suck at searching threads.
And yes, the dinosaur one! I have a pretty clear sketch of that, but admittedly I thought it was for a different project so I set it aside. Maybe I'll make that one the reading one....

 

[inexpediency]

If I were a teacher I would buy all of these posters and hang them in my classroom (regardless of what subject I taught)

Actually I would probably buy them all anyway, if I had any dollas.

 

[Almost Human]

Well if I do put them up for sale, I promise that they wont cost much.
Apparently profiting off my art is something that sickens me, since I keeping suggesting lower prices for my commissions than what's offered, because I'm an idiot haha.
Although I have no idea what printing costs + shipping would equal out to. I'm making them to be 11 X 17 but you know, vectors can always go bigger or smaller with few issues.

 

[NotAPumpkin]

I really, really love that poster. I want one. I want A THOUSAND.

 

[Almost Human]

That would be heavy to ship.
