OCuK, lend me your eyes!

Thanks CaptainComedy.:)

Mike, I know there isn't an awful lot going on in Wales, ( :D) but one of my favourite session players made it big. He's from Cardiff. http://www.drummerworld.com/drummers/Ian_Thomas.html

Well dirtychinchilla, the printer didn't struggle, it came out ok. However, the contrast is a bit wishy washy. That was on 'photo' setting. I've one more setting to try, Best Photo.
This will do to put up on the board, but I'll put the photoshop psd on a pendrive and ask the school if they can print me a better copy.

Sorry for not being helpful. :p

Make the bottom line about the picture a bit smaller and centred, the logo below it needs to be bigger. I'd make "interested?" centred and have the emote either removed or to the side of it rather than having the section inclusive of the emote be centred. I'd also make the top text centred rather than aligned to the left, and I'd bunch everything above the image slightly closer together to allow for the picture to be moved up a bit, to make space below for the logo.

To be completely honest, even the first designs would be fit for their intended purpose. I'm not sure I'd care about the design of the poster, and it has all the relevant information on it.

You could just leave the new one almost as it is, but I'd definitely try to make the logo at the bottom a bit bigger as a minimum. (unless it will be a large enough poster for the text on the logo to be read easily?)

Well, finally! :p Thank you. Some valid points. Yeah, I agree, I can definitely afford to make the bottom logo bigger and the text under the picture smaller, so I'll do that. And I might try bunching the top text closer together and moving the picture up.

Looking at the A4 printout, the rest of it looks ok now tbh. I messed around for ages trying to get all the text perfectly centred and can't seem to do it properly. There must a tool in PS I need to learn. Whenever I move text one notch either way it looks slightly too far to the right or left. But for my purposes, no one at the school will notice anyway.
 
Honestly, I would have done this in Microsoft Word rather than Photoshop. It is ideal for this sort of thing! :D

How is this looking now? I've no idea how to improve on the text alignment, but I'm just eyeballing it and it kind of looks ok I suppose. But I moved the text and photo up, reduced the text under the pic, and resized the logo larger. There's two different logo sizes in these screenshots, which one do you reckon?

I like it! Those are good. :)

I think the smaller logo, but its up to you. I think the large one draws a bit too much focus to it.
 
yeah looks good. Maybe get it laminated as well :D Oh did you tutor this Stephen chap? If so, you could mention that in the poster?

Sounds like a sweet deal you got there.

Yep, I'd prefer it laminated. I did mentor him, for 2 or 3 years. Yeah, maybe I could add that. :cool: He already had great chops though, better than me, but I showed him some ideas of mine and taught him drum notation reading. I always knew he was going to be a bit of a star.
