Undeniable announcement-poster (c&c)

underneath you can see the picture I made to promote the demo, but'I'd like to hear some reactions first, and maybee I should make some changes or add info to it.

I like the design and the way you put the text, but in many parts the text is unreadable. Like in "Powered by AGS "Chris Jones"" (the first time I read MS instead of AGS) and in some of the smaller text.
I can make it out eventually, but it's hard to read. Idea: maybe add an outline? it would really focus it IMO.

the people around are dissapeared in the blink of an eye? hmm, not to be picky, but I think it'd more correct to say "the people around dissapear in the of an eye".

Other than that, it's very nice, the way it looks like it's sawed material.

If possible, I'd reccomend connecting the two "what if's", Like this:
"What if...
The people around you dissapear in the blink of an eye, and the world suddenly turns into nothing but hate, anger, fear andsadness, with no safe place to hide?"

I altered it a bit but you get the point.

Looking very promising .

tnx for the comments GinnyW! I made an updated version..

[Ginny]

Ooh, much better! I love it!

Very nice, a little distorted, but I still like it.

Personally I find the text still too hard to read.

If some words were made difficult to read some sort of suspension would probably be built up, but as it is at the moment it s, in my opinion that is, plain irritating.

To make it more appealing I d go about as follows:

(i) Make the title more distinct. Just resizing the main font doesnt give it enough uniqueness imo to make an impression on the viewer.

(ii) Make the black texture even smaller. That or work something else out to make the text easier to read.

(iii) the "Powered by..." n "Visit us at..." texts looks very out of place imo. Use another font or place them behind the black texture as well.

(iv) the main text is too compact. I preferred the first version in the aspect.

One way of doing it would be:

"____What if...

The people around you dissapear in the blink of an eye,

___and the world suddenly turns into nothing but hate, anger,
____fear andsadness, with no safe place to hide?"


__=spaces


(v) The "Solidus Software" text needs to be made more distinct otherwise it makes the bottom text look disorganized.

(vi) Make the margin wider.

(vii) I m not personally very fond of the colors. I d make them more monochromatic (perhaps all in bluegrey or something)

I think the poster needs some real artwork. E.g. characters or locations from the game. Right now it's a collection of several fonts on a rather simple background.

So having some real art in there would probably help to liven it up, as it helps build the interest in your game as well, when people know *what* to look forward to.

And on a sidenote: Why this poster? Where are you going to use it?
