A Grad Ceremony Poster For Dental Students

I designed this poster for a Grad ceremony for dental students at my med school. I have used a few prerendered elements.

It was used as wall posters as well as a big billboard.

I think there are too many elements here overlapping each other. It's not elegant. Also keep margins all around.

I think ivan has a point. I also think the grass used for the text is what steals the elegance away.

Way too many elements. I also don't understand the use of the grass. It looks shoddy and amateurish.

Consider this - remove FRUITION altogether. Change the poster orientation to vertical instead of horizontal and then use your new found extra vertical room to employ the spacing ideas Ivan offered. Boom. I'm seeing a wonderful grad poster.

For a student though - this is not too shabby. You made a few rookie mistakes (as noted) - you live, you learn.

You might try to use 1 font and stick to that(try playing with different weights in the same font family). Also lose the strokes and gradient fills for the type, and try to stick to one color for the text. This should help consolidate everything a little better.
