After falling in love with and buying a poster from @lukesbeard shop (http://store.lukesbeard.com/) and then seeing that these are being sold in loads of shops on the high street for crazy prices, I thought I would have a go at some myself.
i like the feel of this, but i think if you were to really get into this and do some more posters, i think the fonts and general distribution of the words/weighting will get better and better : ) - i'd definitely keep doing pieces like this
i really like the simplicity - i actually think the simple ones Luke and others do are better than the ones that look a bit too filter-happy. dont get me wrong, they're nice, but if you can make type work without blanketing it with noise, textures and edge effects, you're a winner in my book : )

This is a quote from Peter Drucker (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Drucker)
It has some subtle textures in the background which can't be seen in this shot sadly.
Would love to know what you think. Would you buy it as an A3 poster?

Thanks very much Callum!
I'm still working on adding some textures, but one part of me is thinking just keep it super simple

Beautifully executed. But I think the "create it" line comes a little too close to the page's borders.

Thanks Pete. I'm certainly going to keep doing more!
I'll try and improve on this before printing it.
