This is my 5th project in need of revision. It's supposed to be a poster sized image of an old school New York musician. I'm relatively happy with it so far, but i could definitely use some critique or suggestions on this piece.
I think the concept of this design is cool but I feel as though the colors are kind of clashing and there's not enough contrast as there could be. I like the typeface choice, but I'm wondering if Moondog would look better if it sat behind the Viking and off centered.
The colors don't seem to unite into a cohesive color palette. Maybe the background should simply be black (you don't need that black drop shadow, in my opinion)? Then, I would work some white back into his portrait - so the contrast is heightened and the image is developed a bit more. It's better to have less colors here, rather than more. So, consider using just white, black, and that gray/blue and see what you can do. Placing a more bold heading behind his head would introduce some depth, as long as the title is readable! These fonts do not pair well - find a more bold (maybe Old English font) and then pair it with sans serif supporting font.
