The Project of Olympic Proportions - Final Draft

I just made a few changes to the overall design of the archery poster. I tweaked the title so that it seemed a little more dynamic as opposed to just another lie of type. In order to do that I had to learn how to turn type into objects, so I could play around with the shape among other things. I also added a sort of watermark of China in the upper left corner This helped deal with some of my previous issues with negative space. I also added the second line of text in the title, which by offsetting it I think it helps the design from feeling too heavy on the right side. I also added a target behind the date to try and help draw the viewers attention.

As for the font problems, I changed the font for the main body of the text to something that was a little more readable and made it follow the edge of the quiver. The jpg file on my thumbdrive of the final edition is corrupted, so I'll post the image tomorrow.
