LOL ..haven't updated that in forever now. Need to go work on it I guess.

 

 

Calm ... awesome new logo man. It kills all the things I kicked around for you when you were starting up.

 

 

Serious question, where do you get those bad ass background photos. Do you do the manips yourself, or do you have a secret stash of backgrounds?

Depends on which ones. A lot of my posters are just found images. I waste a LOT of my life online and stumble across images that I think would work. To some, I add little changes and manips, others I just shrink to fit. Then at times, I create from scratch but most of those are from earlier.

 

Examples of each are...

I spend a lot of time wondering around tumblr and deviantart and other random art sites. I also have a collection of real mma, boxing and movie posters for inspiration.

Hey remember this isnt a troll thread this is a poster makers thread ,we help each other if someone says nice ,fair play if someone says youncould have used a diffren font

fair play

this isnt a slaging thread this is a poster thread and we have our own respect going on.

anyone who decideds to make an event poster is a welcome member but dont you dare come in here and play judge , we all know what we are diong wrong or right ,

this is to help each other thread not a flame thread

we have artists in our comunity and they should be given ups they deserve but they dont . so we remain underground......................for the momment

That targeted at me Soul? Cos I don't really care if you don't think I should judge. And u don't need to be a poster maker to comment, sorry. If something doesn't look great and someone asks for an opinion I'll give them it.

This one was at the Hayashi's lounge so I kind of did an asian theme /shrug

This one, I couldn't really think of any ideas for a Grand Prix type deal. As you can see I kept the same basic header (The Two Big T's, with the gradient in the background), switched up some colors and blending on the letters.

Not my most creative work, but I would like to think I'm progressing.

Yes, but if you aren't going to offer it in a constructive way, then you are just being a dick and it isn't needed as it doesn't help in any way.

 

Lifebleeder .... those look solid. The banner at top is good, I would try to add a bit of shadowing to the two T's so they don't jump off the page so much compared to everything else but that's me. I use a lot of the same banner like that in my designs for reach .. or I did at the start. It's a nice way to make very different designs flow well together in a series.
