Experimental Messi Poster


I'd love peoples opinion on this. I've replaced the photo of Messi with this illustration. I want to start doing every poster with the players in this type of style. What do people think? Please comment!

  1. Presume there's no copyright issues then if you're reselling them, but you can't make out his face.

  2. I've not sold any as I'd like to make sure I'm doing things right. I've tried to move into using my own illustrations so I wont be liable for the photos. His face isn't meant to be there as its kind of a grafitti style thing. What do you think of it?

  4. Okay, people are opting for eyes. Duly noted. Anything else?

  5. employ shading or very subtle lines to empahasize facial features. Lips look a bit off.

  7. Love it. If I had one criticism, it's that the photo's at the bottom lack congruence with the rest of the poster.

  9. Agree with Barry. Like the vintage/painted look but the photos don't work well and look like an afterthought.

  11. Nah leave the eyes out, better as it is.

    Just a thought - while it's your own work, was it based on a photo off the net somewhere? If you've heavily photoshopped an existing pic I think they can still claim copyright.
