Any critique appreciated for this promo piece. My goal is to do more graduate portraits than 05 so figured I'd make a little piece to distribute. Size is 4x6 and pics are from the few gradutates I photographed in 05. This is another step towards real photography :) and I need some more equipment, so...

thanks in advance



edit> just noticed the typo, should be "for" not "or"

nice and simple to the point and has clear message of what you are advertising
Maybe a bit too much space between the text and pictures. IMHO.

Typo aside... the card looks good.

The one thing that bothers me the most is all the squinting going on. In '06 get your subjects into shade and use fill flash or reflectors.

bottom left pic is too dark, some of the others are borderline.

too much space between text and images

I like the layout of images.

spice the font/text up somehow.

I also don't know which number to call - what's the diff? one's a cell? mark that. can I email? how?

There's a typo in the title "Portaits" - should be "Portraits".
You caught the other one.

I'd make "Graduate Portraits" in a bigger font.

Thanks for the comments. Very helpful. I'll work on refining.

personal note: My favorite thing about DPC...Because commentators arent' friends/family the critique/evals are much more meaningful. Most family/friends aren't very objective.

Oh man, my mind is in the gutter today. I quickly read the title and saw "Comments on porno postcard for 2006". ROFL!

LOL, I thought it said porno at first too... LMFAO...

Rather than going too fancy with the "Graduate Portaits" part, a stylized script of your initials would look good at the top of that box.
