New Vortek Print Ad

Looks good, but I could do without the whole warp speed look. It's hard to look at. I personally think it would look better without that, but leave everything else the same.

edit: You may also want to make the website a little bigger. It's in the fine print section and is easy to breeze over. I didn't even notice it the first time and had to go back and look for it.

I agree. It's your ad but I think that takes away from your physical product which you should highlight, not fuzz out.

even if you want to keep the warp look, just dont include it in the goalie. (just the backbround)

It will make the gear pop some more. Should do the same thing with the words too.

Good idea right here.

Yeah, get rid of the effect on the text and put the effect on the background, as recommended. You could even go so far as to slightly brighten the goalie, because that really dark black jersey in the middle draws my eyes more than the pads. Maybe lighten his jersey up some? (<-- Likely useless nitpicking )

BTW, is the gear too light, fast, and good for me ?

When an ad creates discussion it means it is good.

The ad and the Jerseys were designed by MUCNJ a board member here and one of the top Designers if not the top Designer in the State of NJ.

I very much appreciate all the feedback. I am sure Damian (MUCNJ) will be checking the board soon.

As a statement to his talent, below is the picture this was created from.

Agreed on the warp speed look, it's too over the top, gives me a headache. Take it easy on the gear and words and it'll look better for sure, I agree with the others here.

Gear continues to look amazing! Nice work on the color change in the ad.

I actually really like the warped look. The only thing I would change would be to shrink the amount of warp on the words. The reflection the the works cause beyond where they actually are makes them hard to look at. Warping them up to where they are solid white I think would make it fit in with the warp look yet easier to read.

Of course this is coming from a guy that got an A for effort and not for work in Art

[MrMikeEMike]

I'll also add in there that I told you the stick would be a problem.

[cdnredraider]

Looked at it from a few more feet back and I think Vortek looks great. However, the words along the bottom are just too blurry. I feel like I'm looking through watery eyes at it. I just can't focus on it.

Otherwise, the goalie looks great. I think I'll need to get a set of gear with that jersey. Hard parts gonna be finding an all black rink with a spotlight right over me

Wow, i dont think someone needs to have extensive experience to determine if something looks "unprofessional" or not. I don't think there has been one positive posting about the ad. Rather then grit your teeth at someone, you should take the feedback, which in this case is about 100% in the negative column. My opinion of this, the blur is way too much, this said it will be a print ad, this image doesn't look like it will translate very well to print. (which I do have experience in)

I really like the whole warped look it adds to the affect (effect or affect?) of the slogan. But I think that the VORTEK accross the top should be the exact opposite of the rest fading backwards. It should be the main thing that the eye is drawn too and that will make the name stick in your head so you find out more. VORTEK should be almost ad if it is popping out of the page from the rest of the words. I think the company name should ultimatly be the most important and distinguished feature. But I do think it will draw attention as is its job.

The ad was posted for feedback, not venom. The post were deleted to stop a pissing contest that may have happened.

Believe me we are listening to everyones feedback. Some is just stated in a less harsh way.
