[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3124281, member: 56859"]The overall idea is good but fixing the visual inconsistencies will make it look more polished and appealing. Suggestions: 1. All pictures should be the same size (the pictures themselves, although it would also be good for the coins to be the same relative size within those images) 2. All text boxes should be the same size and should be the same width as the coin images. Text box heights should also be the same even if that means having extra space below some of the shorter attributions. 3. All elements should be centered and spaced consistently within the poster. 4. (this is very subjective) I'm not fond of the Forvm-style center justification of the attribution. It is at odds with the visual rectangles in the poster and center justification is difficult to read. Re-do with right-hand text justification or with center justification for the first line only with the remainder of the attribution in a block of paragraph (perhaps with left and right justification of that text block). Keep in mind that for most viewer at the show, they aren't going to read or care about the attribution details-- they're going to focus on the person's name and on the coin pictures. 5. If you have one more coin it would balance out the second poster. If not, use that leftover space as a collector's bio. Write a brief paragraph about your collection or collecting goals. Also include your blog/website address. 6. In the interest of readability, consider having fewer coins in the posters, perhaps with just six coins per poster. Also note that you'll need to create this digital graphic in very high resolution so it will not be to pixelly when printed at 30" x 20". If the poster is going to be flat on a table with the coins placed on the poster itself, the placement of the poster elements will need to be adjusted to allow a place for the coins.[/QUOTE]
