- Base the success of your entire career on one project.
- Stick with what you know.
- Undervalue your expertise
- Let money dictate what you do.
- Bow to Societal Pressures.
- Only do work that your family would love.
- Do whatever the client/customer/gallery owner/patron/investor asks.
- Set unachievable/overwhelming goals. To be accomplished by tomorrow.

Hey Chris! It looks really good! I like how you left the rendering (shading) to the two most important parts, the girl and the name of the band, very effective.
I'm kinda trying to think of some lettering on the project I'm doing right now...how do you come up with so many great font ideas???
The final project reminds me of a wrought-iron fence....Like New Orleans French Quarter type design. I think it's got a really differnt look to it. Good Job!
yes Chris, much more successful than you think (after looking at it for so long!) Next time you should try to use solid colored text against solid background, try reversing out certain areas. Like if the whole poster was black with white script, and maybe the curly-q designs were a middle grey of some sort. Just something to try :) Good job, keep up the good work!
