      Can you explain more about the concept behind this design? I get that it's a reference to the tv show/movie but i'm curious to see why YOU chose that.

      I'll keep my opinion about the design until i can understand where it's coming from.

      Are you trying to make this look like a postcard?

      We definitely need more details before we can help you.

      Is that title set? Do you have the option to change it? You're going to get eye rolls from your community if you don't go somewhere else.

      *eye rolls* *vomit*

      LOL

      In a society where sex and culture are so prominently advocated through media, why should it be so difficult to come up with an original conceptual approach?

      If you are trying to make a comparison to the show (ICK) you'll need to do a better job at mimicking your inspiration.

      If you are trying to teach a lesson about sex, and its influence on modern society you hardly need the pop culture reference to make an impact.

      Dig deeper, look at some other designs, do some sketching, free writing, whatever it takes to take this idea from infancy stages into a hardcore concept and let THAT drive your graphics.

      I shot this title down in one our meetings, when the series was about sex. Mostly because I'm annoyed that women like that show, or rather the content. And I didn't want to perpetuate the idea. (and I'm steadfast against direct TV references)

      But if you've already made up your mind that that's what you're gonna call it:
      Try to make it look vastly different than what those words ordinarily conjure up.

      Thanks for all the feedback. I did try to shoot this down in our meeting, however everyone else was for it. I don't come up with the title, I work with whatever is decided upon by the senior pastor and other staff members. I do have some say, but was the minority in this one. I can try again to push the issue, as this series has gotten pushed back in favor of a series on financial peace.

      In answer to the questions above, the series is about sex and relationships, and it is my job to create a master graphic that is used for mailers, posters, outside banners and indoor banners.

      May I also add that i took the graphics department (which didn't exist before me) based on a great need for someone to run with it at our church. I'm very much a beginner at it, having almost no prior knowledge in design. I am finding more and more that I do enjoy it though, however i'm lost on most definitions of design lingo, or how to carry them out. I'm learning on Photoshop, and am doing the best i can to learn what i can.
