Barbara Logan-Price Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 (edited) cool design but the colour is apauling red and black would look cool Edited January 12, 2006 by alex!beastytrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyoyo Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Can't see anything wrong with it.But i don't do graphics so might be wrong.Except maybe making the logo and background slightly different from each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 (edited) ensuring the WCS logo (main one) is actually centred on the page and not half hanging off the edge (the S) leaving too much space to the left of the image, bring the WCS log more centre would improve this. try different colours, the background has too much white and the the same colours, it doesnt stand out as much as it could, experiment with colours thats my opinion Edited January 12, 2006 by ben@hulltrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruitbat Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Its a seasonal catalogue which is aimed at a summer period so make it look summerry. Put some bright colours on which will make it look a little summerry and as Ben said the WCS needs to be much more central and prominant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrishayton Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 no offence but its looks rather amaturish. just looks like something that you knocked up in publisher in 5 mins. the logo is also quite hard to read so maybe change the font(obviously you cant if its the company logo though)i got a route one catalogue sat next to me and compairing it too yours doesnt look that good to be honest. sorrythe layout is a bit sketchy too, maybe include a couple of pics of products on it, eg a deck, some wheels or a tshirt as its a skate shop (they all have nice graphics so pick pretty ones) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun H Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Looks ok to me except the "WCS" bit which isn't really 100% legible. At first I though it said WAS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 i'd change the colors (just give it a hue mod) to see what would work best. dont like the blue at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 The main thing for me was just that the WCS logo isn't really highlighted. If it had a thicker outline so it was more visible that'd probably help, but it's just that at the moment it's not really eye-grabbing. Looks like you've done it by hand then scanned it in, so why not just trace around it in any publishing programme or whatever you're using and make the lines a bit thicker?EDIT: Unless you haven't done it by hand, in which case just maybe make the lines a touch thicker and have the internal colours standing out a bit more?

-RoBBo- Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Make the 'WCS' logo font TOTALLY different. Keep it simple, so it becomes more recognisable, not loadsa of curvey stuff. You'll get better marks too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Has anyone seen my shoe? Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Make the WCS stand out way from the background like so: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinky Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 I personally dont like the angled text and colour, simplicity is the key but with effective colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Angled text is OK, but that is too steep. You have to really crane your neck to read it. Also you've got 3 different angled bits, which are all at slightly different angles. Without reading the small print, I'm totally unaware of what the flyer is for. Even after I've done that I'm still a bit confused. Is it just skateboarding hardware, or are we talking clothes, shoes etc?And as for the colours, they are sooo early 90s. Take a look around at people's clothes and flyers for other companies. Get rid of the blue.I also think it probably needs some graphic in there somewhere. Maybe a T-shirt or a logo or whatever.
