revising my Alexey Brodovitch style Ad poster

 The changes I made in order to assemble a completely different look from my original poster design was to base the images on a blank canvas background and build upward. The difference I incorporate is using color imagery rather than Alexey's classic black and white because I feel its more appealing of the attraction. I intended to maintain hierarchical balance by keeping the Freak Show as the most important feature followed by my catch phrase.

  1. You have really worked hard to integrate all the information that reflects your designer. The images work together as a whole now and the saturated color say freak show! I think one of the problems was the complete filing of the page with a picture which is not necessarily what the designer did with his page layouts. The title for Venice Beach is good – could even have an outline around the box so it sits inside more, and either the text is bigger or the box closer to the text - could be smaller. That would mean the welcome to would better relat to that title. The words at the very top are a bit lost just hanging up in the top space. The banner at the bottom with your great slogan is much more dominant than you originally had but again the text is not really 100% Ok – that means the background color and text are not related so it looks like text plopped in a color rectangle – nearly there. Your use of the grid is starting to work but I still want the image to have a great deal more open space like your designer and the text to be a shape that reflects other shapes on the page this is really hard to achieve and I know you have tried hard to do that
