True Love

Probably the best way to approach this challenge would be to ask yourself if you would spend a few hundred dollars on this and hang it in the lunch room where you work.

The image here is very, very out of focus. I remember seeing this in the forums and you questioning if this was a function of resizing. Hopefully you've sorted that out.

The quote itself is ok and certainly goes along with the photo, but the font used does not deliver the message with much impact and its placement on the photo might work better if beneath the ring.

Good choice of imageto go along with your message.

Choice of font for the image itself is ok, though the key word could be much larger as really it is the 'point' of the poster. The color of the font isn't the best for this scene as part of the word blends into the photo beneath.

The photo is nice, but a bit on the soft side.

The Path To Success

Very odd choice of image and message (or message and image). A step to success is a bench?

Photo itself is very nice, particularly how it fades to black towards the bottom. This probably would have popped more if all the text were at the bottom of the shot in the dark area. The top line looks a bit 'crammed in' and works against a sense of balance for the poster as a whole.

Think Outside The Box

Certainly a creative entry. Clever to match the warped font with the warped candle.

The image itself really pulls this poster down. Lot of dirt (or something) on the white background and some shadows here and there which don't flatter the subject.

Overall, I think this is really out of the box so in that sense you presented something that really did present the message you wanted to get across.

Happiness Is Contagious!

Photo matches the message well - a happy face to reinforce a motivation to maintain a happy disposition.

Both the shot and the word happiness seem to be a little on the pinkish side. This impression is reinforced by the pink color of the quote itself. I think a bit of white balance adjustment on the photo would go a long way towards making this poster pop overall, and perhaps putting Happiness in a simple bright white would enhance the poster as well.

I gather this is a war memorial, though I don't know which one. That's a tough thing for a motivational poster as it really needs to connect instantly and completely with the viewer.

The photo itself is nice, though there are areas where it is poking out from its border. This sort of comes across as lack of attention to detail, even if it was done by choice.

Good match of quote with imagery. A different placement of the quote and a bit stronger style of font may have given it more impact.

Your outtake nails everything that the original shot came up short on. Really great shot of the car. If the model were flashing that smile at the camera this would have been over the top.

EXCELLENCE - When Only the Best is Good Enough

Best thing about this is the choice of font you used - perfect match for the old cars! Very subtle choice and I wonder if a lot of people recognizedit as a style of font from the same eras as the cars.

Fecundity

Excellent image which is the perfect visual reinforcement for the message the poster conveys.

Propaganda doesn't work when people don't understand what they are reading. I can guess what Fecundity means, but I don't know for sure and haven't bothered to look it up. Not sure what a better catch word would be, but I'm thinking there may be more accessible words to choose from heh. Still, this was all about the phrase at the bottom and that message was crystal clear.

I laughed like hell when I saw this. I think this pulled a solid score that was well deserved on technical merit and for meeting the challenge.

Well done, this was a really creative and fun entry.

Strength

Great pairing of image to message. The message itself looks oddly out of focus. Good choice of font for the Strength part. The long-winded bit beneath the catch word is really the part that has my eye wandering a bit - almost as if the font is too thick or something for such small letters.

Nonetheless, this is a pretty good combination of everything you expect to see in one of these posters. Black and whites don't always find a warm reception here, so that might have been all that kept you from catching a 6 on this. As it is it scored quite well at 5.76 so I think that speaks for itself.
