Thoughcrime Is Death

Looks amazing imo, well done.

Since I can't critique the work I'll critique your thread title:

You've spelt thoughtcrime wrong.
 
Very sweet, love the fonts, I like unharshness of them in comparison to the content and concept of thoughtcrime. Did you use photostock for that cityscape?

Very nice indeed. Make sure you get it printed properly; you'll need nice, rich colours for it to look right as a poster :)

Out of interest, what brushes did you use to get those effects (assuming you used Photoshop)?
 
Nice, but am not a big fan of the reversing the letters thing any more to make it "look east european and thus derelict", it has been a bit overused :S

I used a stock photo of Sydney, which I then adjusted and traced in Illustrator.

First I set out all the type + shapes, then I made a layer mask and "painted" splatter brushes on them. The paper effect was simply a scanned piece of paper placed below the red. The red layers were then set to multiply for the transparency.
 
Perhaps try tweaking the text layout a bit, when you use that drastic a leading setting you have to position stuff manually to make it look right in my opinion (r+i and E+A collisions are pretty ugly and the space between the lowercase letters is all over the place).

The spacing between "does not entail" could perhaps do with some adjustment too, I'm not sure if the size change alone is enough to break up the words sufficiently, and the lack of spacing makes it look like "not" is closer to "does" than "entail" due to the shape of the t against the e versus the s against the n.

I have to agree with Shoeski that reversing letters to give them a more Cyrillic feel is a bit played out too. :p
 
^ Jesus I haven't seen you post in absolutely years, still doing the graphics thing?

Fully agreed on the typography issues aswell :)
 
The style that you're going for seems like it would benefit more from a solid grid than having the text out of line (strong, solid, regimented etc.)
