Logopro - I never noticed the spacing before! xD Thanks for pointing it out...yeah its the typeface =s I'll try arranging one letter at a time to get it right =)
dotdesign - Thankyou for your feedback =) Do you think that it would still be ok if the client was a more well -known singer or is there anything I could do to it to make it more professional? |

it's fine - the letterspacing is a bit tight as someone else said.
But (and I find myself repeating this a lot at the moment) you really should learn Indesign and Illustrator. Photoshop isn't really very good at this kind of thing. Do the picture of the bloke in Photoshop (although in this case, Illustrator would be better as it would then be vectors and better quality and scaleable) and then import into Indesign to add your type, so you'll have much more control over the spacing etc. Then you can add bleed and print it properly too.

I think its a good first attempt. I've read one of your other posts, and must say, I love your enthusiasm!
I think you'll go far if you keep it up! Did you manage to find any work experience yet? |

I really like it. Reminds me in a small way of New Order's album cover - Low Life.
