    theres this band im really into at the moement called the 'pigeon detectives' and they are playing at my union on the 14th of March. i didnt even realise this untill someone pointed it out to me. so i took it upon myself to knock up a quick poster advertising the band, and the date of the gig on their national tour up and down the UK. on their tour they'll be supporting 'the long blondes' and 'kaiser chiefs' on a number of occations. while the dates in between will be filled with their own headlining gig.

    with their new single due out now this is a perfect time for them to start a tour (r'omantic type' theres a clip up on their myspace - check it out). but like i said i hadnt heard of it untill today. i've spent near enough all evening on this working in photoshop and i wondered what you guys thought. if i got good(ish) feedback i was thinking about printing some out and pinning some up at the student bar (Manor Quay) anyways let me know what you think...

    Ok, that's seriously awesome. It's not overdone, and very tastefully coloured. *applause*
    Nice fonts too. Simple, but classy :thumbsup:

    I really like it JJ87. You've got a great style and it works out really well on this poster.

    I think you should definetily print some out and put them up! People will like them a lot and I think the band would like it too. ^_^

    It's not, don't worry. Especially since people who've not seen it before will be concentrating on the whole image and the headings and the pics then just won word somewhere.
