Made A DF Poster For A Graphics Class
« on: November 19, 2013, 09:04:44 pm »

Just what the title says, I have a graphics class, and made a poster for the game.

So you basically took an image from the intro and placed some text above and below it? I encourage you to challenge yourself a little more. You've shown little that is creative or original.

It's simple, yes, but it does the job well and it does feel like a poster.
Besides, there's only so much you can do regarding a niche ASCII game without any graphics to begin with (intro cutscene and tilesets notwithstanding)

What's so bad about it? It's suitably dwarfy, and more interesting to most than a big, red D shooting out multicoloured punctuation.

It's a good poster design.

I like the "coming soon" part the most.

I love it!  But you neglected the tag line, "Losing is !FUN!"

I thought 'complained about the draft lately' meant they didn't have a door to their room.
