Break the rules

this might give a better idea

Just try to move the jumping shady character to the center bottom and crop his legs. Leave it's place empty. Also, lose the "Less is more" - less is more. :) I think the white space will create tension.

Less IS more... and there is alot on that poster IMO. I don't know what to look at... it's all competing for my attention. I think it would be better if you simplified it. :c)

I feel that the jumping figure and the text below him is too much of a focus, in a bad way imo. I love the bottom left of the poster, that to me is amazing and I love it. Perhaps you should take the jumper off the poster and then use that space for " Take nothing for granted, break the rules" and make that the focus of the piece.

Well, I do agree about the composition part. I was working on the three major elements in the picture. Presently they do not have the coherence. Jammo, I'd shift the bottom left thing into another poster design on type graffitti. I'll post that later.

However, I don't agree to 'less is more'. It might be approved and considered an optimal solution these days, but soon will be out of style. Less is not ALWAYS more. (I don't completey deny that though. 'Simplicity is Beauty': http://www.visualhymn.com/images/simplicity.jpg is a poster I designed few weeks ago.) BTW I'm planning to make another poster 'Complexity is Beauty' :)
