Zoo poster continued

So I had a little time in class today to work on this, and thanks everyone for the great suggestions. I definitely agreed it was a little text heavy, and I hadn’t noticed that the letter forms were more prominent in the body of the prairie dogs than in the head, but I noticed that right away too once it was pointed out! This was definitely one of those times I needed to step back from my work a little bit, so the outside input was really helpful!

I was able to add another letter in the head of the prairie dogs to give them a little dimension and balance. Overall, I liked that you could still see some of the letters in the forms, so I didn’t want to get rid of that completely. I also played around with the text a lot, and figured out how to make text boxes into different shapes (yay!). I ended up cutting a good bit of the text out, which I think is good, since it’s a poster, and I tried to make shorter points for some of the other information.

I’m pretty happy with it overall, but I’m still not entirely sure about the background and text. I like the yellow box at the bottom to break up the space a little, but I’m not entirely convinced the composition is the best it can be. I’ll continue to welcome suggestions, as I’ll probably keep tweaking this a little!
