Hey, nice work! Looks wicked awesome!
One thing regarding the shoe. You have an even number of those circles on the side of the shoe. I might be wrong, but I’m pretty sure there’s an aesthetic rule that you should always have an odd number of an element like that. Other than that I like the shoe. The contrast stitching really sets it off.

AK: It’s true that groupd in odd numbers appeal more to the eye…but if I were you, I would forget about “rules” and work with what you feel when you see it. Rules are only made to be broken.

That is a crazy poster, great stuff! I love it!

While it is true that odd numbers tend to be more dynamic than even, that typically applies to repeated forms (think Nike Alpha dots, Adidas 3 stripes, K Swiss 5 stripes) and is not always a hard and fast rule (the 2 chevrons for Hummel and the 4 chevrons of a Sergeants patch are both dynamic based on the power of the chevron form)

In this case I don’t think that guideline applies because the circles are all different sizes.
