Wow, impressive! Great use of typography. The only thing I would probably have a comment on is the "SCARFACE" header. It seems a bit off center compared to the white box below it, and the black line underneath 'SCAR" might look nicer if it were flush with the black background behind "FACE." I hope that makes sense, lol.

Neat, but I'd probably make the "scar" a scar looking font. Know what I mean?

How was the portrait created using the word 'scarface'? Was that done in Illustrator or a separate program? If a separate program, Did you use a mac? I really like that effect. I agree with Korteenea, but think you should have really only used one font for the whole layout, two at most. Looks like you just added the body copy and didn't finish. I really like the portrait though.

we had to print out sheets of type and cut the type and glue it to create the image. i then scanned the image into ps.

Great job, although I agree with Korteena on the title.
