Thanks for the clarification Lyrics. My first language is English (and very well I might add...I'm also a writer.) I wrote technical publications for the Air Force for 10 years—very boring—so I've tried for many years to adjust my speech and to also write somewhat normal.
Now that I write articles for magazines and newspapers periodically, I have found it important to be more on the same level as my readers.
I usually don't post work on the forum and not expect feedback, but the poster was in fact just that—I just felt like posting it for no reason and didn't expect comments.
Posters are fun to design. I actually recieved a national award for a poster design I did back in 2003 and we do poster design quite regularly. Two friends (the ones I mentioned that design posters), have designed posters for many years.
Peter Barsotti is an amazing designer/art director. In his day, he worked with quite a bit of big bands like the Grateful Dead. We started doing design for him (posters, t-shirts and other things) back in 2004 and we quickly became friends (I got to design Eddie Money's t-shirt for one of his concerts). Peter just recently gave me a book that features many of the great Fillmore posters from San Francisco.
One of my closest friends (Stuart Martin), worked as an art director for United Artists. He created the original Willy Wonka poster and also designed posters for lots of other famous movies. He's in his 60s now, so a lot of the movies I've never even seen.
Both Peter and Stuart are goldmines and they have gotten us connections that most small design firms only dream of. It sounds as though you've gotten yourself in a great situation too. Are you in school or working full-time? You remind me of my son; I can feel your energy through your posts and it feels very positive.
Anyways, sorry for rambling, but I look forward to seeing your work.
