I didn’t want to focus too much attention on the photograph as I didn’t really have a good one to work with. This image was more of a practice run, and I do feel it’s off somehow, but I think it might be in the composition more than anything else though. I might be able to make the image work if I draw in the outline of a an angled wall, give it some depth. I guess I don’t want it too simple but after thinking about it, I realize I was compensating for the photograph with a little colour. It wasn’t the photograph I wanted. Anyway, I’ll keep experimenting with it, probably after I do a series of self portraits. haha also, I was going for the 90’s movie poster look, that’s actually exactly what was on my mind when making this.

if you make it all black/red then you’re putting attention on the logo. but if you go white, the focus shifts to the picture itself. depends what you want to do.

imo. i would change the font of the top text as well, seems really 90’s movie poster-ish. but that’s my opinion, it may be what you’re going for.

well done regardless.
