M3 Poster Final Version - Gay Marriage Equality

Final Version

This is the final version of my Gay Marriage Equality poster.  I followed the suggestions made by Mr. Hiuni and moved the wedding rings below the word "marriage" and centered it to be inline with the flowers.  I also shrunk the type so there was more of a border present along the sides.

I ended up sticking with the same fonts and not changing them as I had thought I would.  I like the way the "M" scrolls up into the tux a bit and nothing else looked just right to me.  I tried to change up the colors of the fonts but didn't like the boldness of black against the pink sparkle so I did the dropper on the tuxes to pull the font colors out from there so it would look more cohesive.

I also blended the flowers more so they weren't sticking out so brightly against the tuxes. I also added a drop shadow to the flowers to mimic the shadow on the rings.

First Draft Version

My friend suggested to change one of the tux colors but I decided to keep them both black in an effort to show "sameness" or "equality" if you will and that the two grooms would be standing side by side as they say their vows.  It just felt right to keep them both black.

The first draft version can be seen to the right for comparison.
