About my design

by psykomakia
Four color print (white, light gray, gray, dark dark green) on silver gray.



Am I a fan of skiing or not? I can't tell.

I love it! The writing could be a bit hard to read though.

I like it but whatever is after chairlift I either can't read it or its just confusing me.



Please critique my works :)

the first half reads vertically upwards, the second half reads across. glad i wasn't the only one to have to take way too long to puzzle that out.



Nice concept... I just don't think it passes the readability test.

it's a cool idea: your eyes first go up, and then ski their way down. it's just difficult to read, but that could be easily fixed.

great idea...cool slogan...but really hard to read since the reading direction changes.

I had no idea what the words on the other side of the chairlift said until i read across and not downward. lol. I'd go with an up then down reading style for the second half, it makes more sense with the concept anyways. Fun slogan and design, it just needs some word placement refinement.

Rreally confusing with switching up the text flow. I thought I couldn't read for a sec.

Totally agree with above comment. I personally would get rid of the left hand text all together?! Love the illustration though, & a good idea!

Like everyone else, i think its really cool but i did take a while to read it. i think that the problem could be fixed by changing the spacing. i could recognise that there where letters there, but i kept trying to read it down not across as there are gaps between the letters and not the lines.



hope this helps :)

a little hard to read once the words change direction but other than that its definitely cool
