I like the concept that the designer Remi A. has put together here. The idea of making a gig poster look like a playing card is both creative and innovative. The illustration is also very good, and flipping it upside down makes the poster interesting to look at. Even the edges of the poster look worn, like those of a playing card. While the illustration is good the typography of the poster is somewhat wanting. In this instance you can get away with putting text in a box, because the box makes the poster look more like a playing card. However, if you are going to use a box you shouldn't cram your text right up to the edges, and that is exactly what the designer did here. While I think the text is pretty I'm not a huge fan of it. I can see why the designer used it though, and the poster is for a church function so it seems to serve its purpose well. The poster could also be improved by arranging the text differently. The way it is set up now it looks jagged as it moves from one side of the page to the other. It also seems as though the text in the middle of the page is being sandwiched between the illustration and the bold print of the headliner. While the design needs some work, I am still very fond of the concept.
