I started a fake project in which I designed 10 posters, these are 10 off them.
If you like them then good - theyâre fake projects, no brief, no goals, no branding.
It is what it is.
No idea what the first one is about
2nd one - no company name - whatâs a âLive Jukeboxâ? People get into the jukebox and play music?
No pricing - no info - no website
3rd one - dates and information are too small
4th - not good - so many issues - no company - no idea what products - why would it be boxing day sale and website âboxingsaleâ - are you selling boxing day specials, boxing sport, boxes???
Just all wishy washy with not really any direction or coherence and key information missing or too small on all of them.
If youâre making fake projects then fine.
But they donât and wonât hold up under real world scrutiny.

In my own opinion, there is something you should care, some of these designs are using âshine colorsâ. What I mean is, when you use camera with a flash people donât like it because some people have a sensitive eyes and too much shine is bad for them. I would suggest not use shine colors because some people may not like it, try to use something dark or less shine because even if you like it and other people may not like it or even avoid it.
Not enough info. Target audience?
The first one is probably an âinspirational posterâ? If so, if you like it, itâs fine.
The second one - the title âback to the 50sâ, outlining the letters in that fashion makes them illegible. The font is illegible for body copy as well. A poster has only a few seconds to relay its info. Simplify.
What is a âLiveâ Jukebox? âAuthenticâ maybe, but not live.
The third one, probably the most successful of the lot even though Concrete Canvas is pretty close to unreadable.
The fourth - as my GD professor used to so, âDo Over.â Again your outlining choices donât work. Upto is not one word. Distorted why? Donât add crap for decoration. Pen squiggles serve no purpose.
These images make no sense.
I have no idea what the first one is for.
The second one doesnât list the name of the company sponsoring whatever event this grand reopening is for. I donât know what the image in the middle is. It looks like a goblet or a glass of some kind, but itâs not a milkshake glass. Thereâs no such thing as live jukebox music; jukebox music is recorded.
The third one makes some sense, but the headline isnât easily legible. What city? Whereâs the warehouse district? A spray paint workshop? Is this an ad for a festival intended to vandalize concrete with graffiti? Seriously!
The fourth one does not list the companyâs name. Upto is two words, not one. Why did you draw those squiggly lines?
Iâm very sorry to give such negative feedback, but itâs clear you have no formal training in design.

Do you mean the fluorescent colors? The pink and the green?
We wonât even talk about getting those to print without paying for a spot plate.

Yes exaclty Print Driver, I just offered my opinion as a client (like tihe user). I just learned this from UX Design (some people are just sensitive to fluorescent colors).
Those people woulda never made it out of the 1960s, LOL!
Fluorescent colors have their place. But they are special inks. I canât print them in Wide Format as there is absolutely no way to get them using CMYKOGV. Iâve read of a machine with custom pots, but I donât know anyone that runs one. Setup charges arenât good for the ROI, LOL.

Well there is some information here as you can see : Fluorescent colors are loud and can be tricky to use and combine: hereâs how to do it gently, and hereâs a link : Fluorescent colors are loud and can be tricky to use and combine: hereâs how to do it gently | by Ruxandra Duru | Bootcamp | Medium :slight_smile. This something I have learned not something that I invented !
Oh, theyâre loud alright. They are even louder under blacklight, LOL. (UV Lamp fixture)
Well aware of what combines. 
-Says the guy born in the 60s who had day-glo posters and a blacklight in his room as a kid.
Where I work now, weâve even done a full educational exhibit that used day-glo vinyls and fluorescent edge-light acrylics in wonderful UV lit ways.
This stuff is fun
These photos donât do it justice.
