Northern Voice Poster FINAL DESIGN

UPDATED DRAFT

Ok so it's almost time for Northern Voice 2008 (blog conference) and I'm in the middle of doing a large poster design. It's about 60% done, I still have to add a bunch of detail (mostly having to do with blogging stuff) BUT I'd love to get your input and feed back on this, what would you like to see added? what part of the design just needs that little extra? I love hearing your thoughts as this poster is for you, the internet sharing community. I look forward to posting the final result in a few days.

Cheers Basco5

P.S. anyone waiting for a mail trade, I'm sorry I've been so behind on that.

basco5 says:

Yes, I was thinking more stars, clouds, things in the sky to make it more busy. And your right, the logo type needs some more punch to it,

good sugguestions.

i am not worthy of a meaningful critique :-) but how about a mobile phone and 2008 (in very small font size,hidden somewhere, perhaps a tag like graphical nv08) ? (and i luv the Twitter birds idea)

I love the way the mountain spouts ink.

I know all these suggestions are great but its currently simplicity really appeals to me. There's just enough going on. That's just my opinion tough. ^_^'

Lori-Lynn says:

Very cute! I love it :) not sure if there's room since it's already pretty busy, but maybe mention Vancouver somewhere? (in one of the ink spouts)?

Nolsoe says:

Wow! I love those colors!
Posted 18 months ago. ( permalink )

basco5 says:

Updated again (V3) added some extra things, and orignized it a bit more in sections as it was getting a bit crazy. The poster has to be finished for Wedsday so there is time to keep those ideas coming.

Lori, I added Vancouver totem poles (they don't look Haida but what can you do) good idea with the vancouver.

Jeffrey Keefer says:

I like its playfulness.

Two thoughts-
1. How about adding a BlackBerry to promote moblogging (perhaps being held by one of the animals)?
2. I am not sure I get the meaning of the volcano / mountain -- what is it meant to represent?

roland says:

volcano represents the tidal lava wave of user generated blogs, podcasts and videoblogs and micro social content?

basco5 says:

Roland, I couldn't of answered it more perfectly! plus I also did it to tie the title in with the rest of the piece, color wise:)

Choconancy1 says:

I'm loving it. Love the Twitter bird suggestion. Like that it is not all male characters this year. But I don't need to see boobs or nipples. ;-)

Of course, I always advocate for something chocolate.
