Hi Everyone,
I hope you all had wonderful holiday weekends. I've take a look at Shannon's, Maurice's and Jim's posters. Here are my comments.

For all three of you your concepts are working out well.

Shannon, Black Hawk Down is your outlier. The first thing I noticed was that it is angular not circular as the other two are. The perspective/lighting is flatter than the others. Also the typography need to brighten up a bit -- not a lot -- but it is sinking back into the background too much.

Maurice, as far as I can tell the coastlines are working out well as are the boats. But -- two things -- the wakes are definitely not working. The line quality and style is totally off based on the rest of the artwork. The scale of them also is out of proportion. Everything else is angular -- not soft and squishy. The color palette of blue and brown is working okay but the actual shades aren't sophisticated enough choices. A third thing -- the typography needs to be refined.

Jim, the hands have to be different hands. If the two hands are different, they aren't different enough. Also on the Gran Torino poster the object doesn't actually look as if it is part of the image. Finally your type needs to be refined. It's looking pretty good but take a look at the alignment in particular.

Okay, that's it for now.
