    Default Honest Opinion on Artwork Please?

    I am working on a few poster designs. Most of them for sale in the near future but a few are just for fun.

    If you could please, just for my own market analysis study, let me know your honest opinion on this design. I'm looking for answers to questions like...

    Would you buy it for a price between $3 and $5 + shipping?
    Does it catch your eye?
    is the message clear and accurate?
    What do you and don't you like about it?

    I appreciate your help and opinions.

    There will be more posters designs to follow in the near future.

    Thank you,
    T.Fly

    myself, personally, i don't like the red in it... too contrasting, it kinda hurts my eyes. also, the tactical shotty doesn't really depict what I think of a person who was once a victim and now has a gun. i dunno... just doesn't do it for me.

    The red highlight around the firearms gives a fuzzy appearance. I think I would get a headache looking at it for long.

    Maybe another shade of red.

    I'll agree with normanvain and say that the red is a bit much. Overall I like the design but I think that I would change the stock on the shotty there are a lot of people that would automatically assume that one was an EBR.

    I don't mind the red outline, and I like the message, "I NO VICTIM".

    But I'm not too crazy about the collapsible stock on the shotgun.

    Nice job, that would make an interesting t-shirt.

    My opinion......Red is an "in your face" color. Its also equated with the color of blood. Anti's see red, they see blood. We don't want folks "seeing red". Putting red around a firearm automatically makes "folks see red". Red is the color of violence. See where i'm going here?


    Use blue if you want to get your message across. People have a tendency to succumb to the calming effect of blue. We want to portray that gun owing is a good thing, of course in the proper hands.

    Give yourself some bleed area for the text.

    You never want the text to reach the very end of the composition.

    I like the effect on the guns, if only they were a tad more detailed, instead of Photoshop Sketch, or whatever you got on it.

    A nice shade of green is calming as well. I love green.

    I don't like the tactical stock on the shotgun. remember, you're trying to appeal to neutral parties here. people who recognize the tactical stock already get the message.

    the red is a bit much with the black background. if you want to do two color, try it with a white background.

    Say ditch the red, and keep the I, NOT,VICTIM keep in capital letters. Put the rest in lower case letters. Maybe the red letters should be done like a cut out of the american flag waving...man dont know exactly how to describe it. I guess impose the letters over a flag blowing in the wind....OK so lets look outside the box here.. take a piece of cardboard cut out the words. Hold it up facing a flag blowing in the wind. What you see through the opening of the letters would be the way I am talking about. ... Let me do some lookin around to see if I can find the idea im thinking of....
