Hike the High

Hello again! (I recognize your work.)

This one looks really good, it has a nice, simple, and balanced composition, that maintains the impact of the image, without compromising the message and details it needs to communicate.

So first, the graphic. The minimalist centered text is really nice, it has a good strength to it. The photograph is excellent, and the unbalanced figure looking into the blank space works really nicely. The one thing I might consider is pulling down the weight of the back shadow on the text. You do need the dark in order to make the weight really pop, but it seems a little too dark. This causes it to float above the image rather than being a part of it. Here's something to try. Create the text and the shadow on separate layers above the image (or as separate objects, I don't know what program you are using to do this). Set the white text layer to "Overlay", and set the shadow layer to "Multiply". The text will probably not be bright enough so you will need to duplicate the white layer - similarly the shadow may be too dark so you will need to decrease the opacity of that layer.

This will give some color to your text, it will allow a little bit of the background color to bleed into the text. It will still be light/dark, it just won't be black and white anymore. This allows it to be integrated better with the image.

Now for the supporting text. I love everything from "23-24 April ..." to "3265 mdpl". The hierarchy is great, the title is most important, easy to read, and in a type face that fits the rugged nature of the message. The white and yellow are very nicely balanced, and on its own it serves as a great graphic. The title is connected by color to the tagline of "Let's Hike the High", nicely done. I might pull the long yellow line to the left a little bit or make it a little smaller. so that you don't have it intersecting the edge of the page like that though, it's a little uncomfortable.

The text after that though seems a little too heavy. Picture it like this, if you removed all that text, the poster would be gorgeous, minimalist with a message. Therefore, when including that text you want it to have as little impact as possible. I'd actually pull the size down a little more and use a "Light" variety of the font if you have it. The face used for "dipersembahkan ..." has a good weight, something like that.

Those two white lines at the bottom, I would make tiny! Even smaller then they are, trying to fit it on one line or take up a minimum amount of space. If they do have to be two lines, take out the beginning and ending vertical bars on each line. This would allow each line to read like this "a | b | c | d | e", it's just cleaner.

The supporting graphics look good, they are all the same size, and the mismatched coloring gives them less weight than the boldness of the white and yellow you used, nicely done.

All in all very good! You are toning down the graphic elements a bit and condensing the text and it's really working for you. I have to commend you for your excellent attention to hierarchy. (Also it's great that you are only using a few fonts, and only one accent font for the title.)

Well done.
