It's been a while since I've made a "poster." But I really think I've nailed a few things down this time, and am coming here for some criticisms.

Huge version. D:

Inspired by this guy.

Edit:

Resizing's a bitch.
 
That dead space above the diagram is a bit distracting, somehow.
 
I love it. Love the clean, sterile look. Fantastic type, great use of colour - composition is a big thing for me but I personally love the strange positioning of centerpieces. I think there's far too much dull placement out there so I like something that draws away from the obvious positions.

The early advertising work of Nitsche, or more designers that work similarly to him these days, was something we briefly passed by in my graphics class this year and it's been something I'd like to have explored a little more. Cheers for the link.
 
Thanks for the criticism guys, it will help loads with my next piece.
 
I hope you don't take my words about composition the wrong way, I might have worded it a little badly. I love the composition of the image and text here because of how ''oddly'' placed they are. The style is great. :thumbs:

No, I completely understood you, actually. I was partly experimenting with placement, as past posters I have made are usually center oriented, so I wanted to try something different.
 
Errr oh. I made my post before you changed that.

Yes, it is too big now. But before it was terribly small.

The only thing I sort of don't like (that I can see now with the large version) is how the text appears a bit horizontally stretched.
 
Cool poster, but uhm...what does it have to do with Command and Conquer?

Das cool. :thumbs:

Big version is cool, spelling of ''stan ds'' needs correcting though... unless it was intentional.
 
Yeah, the text at the top is not happy about being stretched like that. Otherwise, very nice. I really dig your aesthetic, and I love the colour palettes that you use.
 
First law of graphic design: Do not scale text non-uniformly.
 
you've got a good eye for design...there's a couple of problems the large version reveals though:

1) I'm not sure I like the right-aligned text, the very least make it so that it's perfectly aligned at the back...right now 1st and 3rd line is further back than the rest.

2) dislike the colour variation in the top half-circle(was that intentional?)

3) dislike the colour variation in the green ellipse(was that intentional?)
