That looks pretty great! I've always loved angled stuff like that when it works well. My only complaint/suggestion about it would be about the copy between the two larger words.. It feels like the word spacing is maybe a tad too wide, there seems to be some rivers happening there.

Another thins would be the line spacing, same area... I can't tell for sure without a printout of it to look at, obviously, but the lecturers inmy course - this may be completely different to what you've been taught, I don't know - have always said that from a distance, good linse-spacing should look grey, due to the text and spacing blurring together. Too dark/black and it's too close, too white and it's too far apart.


Sooo.... Yah. Sorta slipped into uni mode there, haha. Hope it helps, though.

Journal! DevArt!

I draw because I can't stop.

Thanks for the feedback, something useful! :) I see what you mean about the rivers, I have a feeling it's because I had that paragraph set to something else previously and neglected to re-adjust it for the new poster (Looking for widows...orphans...bad rag... what was the other thing? Rivers! lol)

i love it... very impressive, especially the differences between the sizes!

Very nice. I think I prefer this to your usual style.

Personal preference mind you. I'm a bit of a modernist/minimalist Le Corbusier/Mis Van Der Rohe lover so yeah.

Kunz is a bit of a legend though, wasn't there a big exhibition on him not long ago? Seem to remember reading about it in Grafik or some such journal...

*edit on closer inspection, kerning is a bit off :p </perfectionist>
:iconedgefusion:
I fixed the kerning a long time ago but never updated the deviation.

Thanks for informing me and thanks for featuring it! I just discovered this thing has found its way all over the internet and right back to my class. One of my fellow students featured it in her mood boards as a piece of work that inspired her without realising it's mine lol.
