Fall In Love With Disco! My First Poster.

This right here is by far my favorite thing that I have made for the theme of parties. It was my idea to create it, rather than tutors giving me tasks to create something, so I'm very proud of myself for that. With this being my favorite, it is also the one I have the most critique about, since I like for my best pieces to be true as best as they could be, and obviously, it isn't perfect in my eyes.

FALL IN LOVE WITH DISCO! v2 - 2022

This was made entirely in photoshop. It's made using photos I found off of google and interest, mainly the couple is from interest, as the background and disco ball are from google, and the text was already in photoshop.

What do I think of this piece? I think it's amazing. Everything is good, the choice of images making sense, the editing is above beginner level, the use of complementing colors really makes it something beautiful to look at, along with an interesting idea and take on the word "Party", as this could be an advertisement for a disco party, the only thing its missing is a link to their page or social media tags, but I didn't add any since this is only theoretical.


Was it successful? For me, it is successful to a point, and three are quite a few things I would change which I will get into, But for now, I would say it was successful enough, but there could be improvements.

What would I change? A lot. The first thing I would change is the DPI of the canvas, I used 100 since I didn't want it too detailed, but in the end, when it got printed out, it looked blurry. I would've changed it to 300. I also would've matched the ratio of the canvas to A3 or A2, since they're commonly used sizes and ratios for posters. I would also change the quality of the text to reflect the new size of the piece, along with using a different photo of the couple close to each other. This is because I think the one I'm using right now is way too pixelated since the image I got it from was 720p.

How could I develop this further? I'm honestly not too sure, maybe make different coloured backgrounds, assets, and text, and make a single poster, like what Andy Warhol did with his famous Marilyn Monroe paintings. Or I could use different fonts and assets that are still a rough idea of what this piece is, just different versions if that makes sense.

Would I return to this? I would like to revisit this to improve on the basis, and possibly make a better version for myself or my mother, maybe even my sister, since those two really like this piece.
