Is the type to much? I've been staring at it so long I can't tell anymore, My dad plays the fiddle and was playing when I took this, so tell me what you think!
Can you soften the type at all ? I like the violin & the music & I like the type too, at least the concept, but the rest of your image is so soft that it kind of jumps at you. So if you could soften it, or make it smaller, something more in keeping with your image. Other than that, it's really nice & I like this.
I agree with Clayton above. I think you've got a nice classic poster style with this one. The bold font doesn't disturb me at all. I think you needed something to balance out the composition and I like your placement of it. I also like the muted different tone of the notes. If I played the fiddle, I would welcome this piece of art into my music room. I hope your dad is impressed with it as well.
This would make a great large scale poster for libraries or music rooms at a school or anywhere else. I like the way you've treated his instrument as well, the glow of the wood really makes it rich and shows the age and loving wear
