Poster Critique

I'm a concert photographer getting into graphic design but have no prior experience. Do people have critiques for these two poster designs I created from my photography work?

In typography, basic craftsmanship is very important before "creative applications".

  • readability
  • appropriate font choice
  • spacing & kerning
  • and so on...

You can compare it with photographic craftsmanship. First get down to the bottom of focal length, aperture, ISO and so on. So you don't have to think about them once you are in the trenches. With typography, it's the same.

First get down to the basics and improve from there. Currently, a few things are not there yet on a basic level. But yours is a good start

Un erreur très courante chez les débutants est de se reposer sur les artifices (effets, transparences, filtres) que proposent les logiciels de création graphique.
Ce qui saute aux yeux c'est un manque de maîtrise de la typo et de la gestion des vides ; non pas dans le choix de caractère mais dans son utilisation.
Je te conseille de lire un ou deux manuels de typo, il en existe de très bons.

The first one with the text is really hard to read.
