Default Urban Canvas Art Work - Your thoughts!

Following on from a couple of previous threads and conversations, i need your views and thoughts on the following:

I am shortly going to be releasing some urban music canvas art - the first design is going to be printed on 20x16" quality canvas and would be something that would be suitable for hanging on the wall!

What im trying to determine is, what is the best design...

Below is the first urban art design that we are going to print - 1 with and 1 without the bloke in the hoodie...





Which looks better the one with or one with out the hoodie standing in the foreground...

I'm obviously fully prepared for comments such as 'pretty standard and not very original' or whatever, so what ever you're comments i really don't mind - essentially i'm happy with the design, im just trying to finalise whether or not to include the hoodie in the final design!

Hopefully this will be the first of many designs!

Its Friday afternoon... let your hair down!

Not sure about the cyan at the bottom, I like the green-magenta mix though... not colours I would have put together myself but kind of works

Thanks - and without the hoodie i presume???

The web image doesn't really do the design justice... it will look outstanding when printed on 20x16" canvas!!!

Well the style has been used before, especially in print night club promotions and similar, this design is from scratch though combining vector graphics and real life photography...

...as for without the hoodie, i guess you were the only person to have voted on the poll :p

Personally i would prefer it without any people in it. Or maybe silhouettes. Nothing that would be identifiable as a particular person.

I don't really like it. But the one without the hoodie is better.

Oh wait, i didn't notice the word watermark on it. I thought that was just part of the design. Who's gonna steal that little picture? Lol, in all fairness.
