    Marketing theme for our 2008 GCF.

    I think this is beautiful.

    I'm not quite sure about the image on the bottom. It looks nice but I am not sure what it is. Is it supposed to be snow, cloth, foam on a latte?

    Maybe a line of text could help explain what the festival is and how it ties to the candy.

    Yeah, it's supposed to be candy canes in snow...but there is no snow in Florida this time of year (how funny am I?) so I used one of those tree skirt things instead.

    This year's theme is "The Legend of the Candy Cane"...so maybe I will put it on there some how.

    Def. put the theme on there. Maybe in place of "Open the gifts of the season" b/c that doesn't make any sense to me anyway.

    I think there are a few things going on with the type layout that could definitely be tightened up with a little grid system. You have some stuff that feels a little "floaty" because they're not anchored to anything in particular. It's mostly just around your title area. I tend to be a little OCD about grid systems though. haha.

    The colors and textures are absolutely amazing, by the way. That blue especially is VERY nice!

    Agree with Carrie. The spacing between the "gainesville" and "christmas" is a little weird to me.

    All in all though, I enjoy what you've done with the poster. There's such an over-saturation of Christmas artwork that relies on red/green/white, and all the typical imagery. This feels very "Christmas" without feeling cliche imo.
