Pretty amatuer-ish;

A) Stolen image from the sixth movie
B) Obvious cut-outs from different movies and interviews for Curtis, Hartnett and Harris
C) Bad tagline

Otherwise; good job :D

Nothing I said was rude. You are being rude by needlessly attacking me, and for what? You asked for peoples opinions and I gave you one. If you don't want peoples opinions then refrain from starting anymore threads. That poster reminds me of my very first Halloween 9 poster, a poster that I think I did badly on, that's why I don't care for yours. It's not a rude statement. You'll improve if you can take what people say and use it to your advantage when creating whatever it is you'll create next.

"I like the text effects, but that's all."

That seems like critisism... Not Constructive... you were blunt... how is it helping by saying "but thats all"

Gimme some pointers on what to do...

Good job---might turn out abit more professional if u use photoshop--but good try nonetheless. I would prefer to see "Halloween 9: The End of the Shape" rather then "The End of the Myers"...I dont know...I think the "the Myers" part sounds abit strange...and for a tagline, how about something like, "One way or another...it ends tonight"...something like that :-)

Scanjet

I like it... it is done on photoshape... but i had to change to a jpeg so thats why it looks a bit un-pro...

changing the title

got a good tagline?

And for the hell of it, you could replace the top tagline with something like "Michael Is Back... To Finish The Job" and just drop the bottom one. You shouldn't use 'Returns' because of Halloween 4: The Return Of Michael Myers.

Yeah, I think the tagline should be something like, "One Way or Another...It Ends Tonight"...something like that :-)

also me is sorry too! It's quite alright, no harm done. The thing about tag lines on posters is that it's best to say whatever it is you want to say in as few words as possible. If you write too much the focus may drift away from the images. Also perhaps if the text where a little smaller and not as bright.

oh yeah i lpved the poster ,but then again i havnever given a piece of criticism in my life

I would drop the sequel number, because you know as well as I do that they will not use it. They stopped doing that at H6.

It's better than what I could do.

smokey

10-13-2004, 02:50 PM

Ok. What I would do is, if u have to use the H6 poster, change the color or something. I'd also drop the lens fare because it wouldn't appear like that off of a knife. I'd also just go on google and find some good pub shots of your cast, cuz the ones you're using seem to different. Ones looking this way, one the next...one the other way haha. Sometimes u just need to sit down with a poster for a while. Pretend its movie already out or something. Don't just be "Well heres tagline,a ttile...yeh there we go"...it helps :)

It creates a better effect if you keep taglines short and simple, I believe.

Something like; "The Shape Returns... 2005"... I dunno... its your poster, buddy

I agree CD. The only tagline i like thats long is DOTD's..."When theres no more room in hell...the dead will walk the earth" XD

And 'The End Of The Myers' is a little tacky. You should either change the wording or ditch it altogether. Just a suggestion.

I don't like the bottom title: End of Myers...because we all know that he's gioing return.

Scanjet

Beau this is my view! If I want him dead then I want his dead.

Hows this new one?

Cool poster Scanjet! I really like how you put everything together :D
However, if you make another one...do you happen to have another pic of Danielle Harris? That is the only part throwing the poster off for me, as Jamie Lee Curtis & Josh Hartnett look serious and Danielle looks as though she's in mid sentence and upbeat. But I like it either way :D

Not only do I not see this happening but I also puked at the thought of it...

The Shape's good name has been tainted once too many... a "Vs." movie with a "teen heart-throb" (or whatever) is just bad...

Besides, I sincerely doubt his character will be mentioned again... he's kinda put Halloween: H20 behind him (asshole) and another "lets-ignore-the-previous-movies-important-characters/plots etc" will probably occur in Halloween 9...

I'd like to see a pretty simplistic (nothing "new-age" like the webcam angle in Resurrection) entry;

Michael goes back to his roots and stalks whats left of Haddonfield's youth

Although, I cant think of anything original here... no slasher sequel is, sadly

The First poster was cool. But, to be honest I didn't really like the title. ''The end of Michael Myers''.
