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.

Maybe a little more in the background/sky ?...
Or more to the logotype text in the top ? ?
The island and sea is perfect !
AWESOME !!! :-D love it :-D
basco5 (65 months ago | reply)
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 was thinking maybe a mouse (computer mouse) somewhere?
or
a bird (fish?) listening to a podcast?

Some Twitter-Birds flying around?

Hummm....twitter bird and podcast listening animals, I like.
roland (65 months ago | reply)
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)

cool.
I love the way the mountain spouts ink.
I'd like to see a couple of black headphones (ear plugs?) on the smiling white mountain top...

Fix the bridge it look's like some kind of goofy table.
knightmusik (65 months ago | reply)
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. ^_^'
basco5 (65 months ago | reply)
Just updated with a new draft, keep those ideas coming.
....still lots of details to add like ear phones and a business pirate

No Monte this year?
basco5 (65 months ago | reply)
Monte might pop up somewhere;)
Lori-Lynn (65 months ago | reply)
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 (65 months ago | reply)
Wow! I love those colors!
basco5 (65 months ago | reply)
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 (65 months ago | reply)
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 (65 months ago | reply)
volcano represents the tidal lava wave of user generated blogs, podcasts and videoblogs and micro social content?
basco5 (65 months ago | reply)
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:)
knightmusik (65 months ago | reply)
Okay, I take it back, this one is loads better! Congratulations.
FUCKTHIS. (65 months ago | reply)
needs more elephants
jacob o+ [deleted] (65 months ago | reply)

nah, just kidding.
it's puuuuurfect, Basco.

basco5 (65 months ago | reply)
jacob, look at the sand dunes in the front.....but don't tell anyone it's subliminal;)
basco5 (65 months ago | reply)
Version 4 just uploaded (V4) very close to being done, just have to fine tune somethings and then we're sending this off to print:)

Kissmama, I think its a wharf or pier, could benefit with a tad more extension into the ocean, but its deadline day...

Loonyworld (64 months ago | reply)
Perfect now ! :-D
Nolsoe (64 months ago | reply)
Wow! I love the moose antlers (Canadian touch) and the waves.
Choconancy1 (64 months ago | reply)
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.
