Poster/flyer I did for the Lounge... book worthy yes or no?

You've captured the low tech printing technology (ie traditional) feel very well. Great font, good composition.

All you can eat fajitas? I'm sold! :)

That's great!
Just some nitpicky grammar things: I'd probably capitalize Thursday as well though. And is "all day!!" necessary?
Really, really good job!

I agree with Pokie's comments about capitalizing.

Also, it would be better in you had less emphasis on the ordainments at the top and bottom and more on the type. The type, right now is lost in comparison because the ordainments are so heavy compared to the type.

And is there a better way of fixing the type than just centering it?
It would be much more interesting if you made it look like an old letter press poster.

Hope it helps, post it again when you make the changes, if you make changes.

I deff get what your say'n about the capital on "Thursday" I didn't catch it till it was too late... but thanx for the reminder. I might try ta do something diff with the type... with these posters I try to get them done as quick as possible b/c they usually only give me a day or so notice, and I get paid with beer!!

I don't think days of the week are capitalized in Spanish anyhow. That's your justification. :D

Looks good my friend. Dpc's comment is valid concerning the strong decorations at the top and bottom. Maybe next time lighten the, up a bit. Otherwise it's great!

i like the dirt and the overall look ... only thing that bugs me a bit is the decorations on top and bottom. At first glance they're fine, but when I started looking closer I got kind of a tribal tattoo effect... needed to be a little bit more old fashioned.
But I love the dirt :)
