Yep, I am serious... the viewer needs to know what the reason is behind the piece before making a opinion. People keep posting images with no information about why they did what they did. Without a concept, there is nothing. This has nothing to do with brainstorming, and if it did, i would assume the poster would indicate that. The reason for the critique area, as i see it, is for the viewer to make suggestions to improve the project. But, without a concept the viewer is unable to do that.
i hardly see any evidence of concept in your work.
if i can read this right "2nd Africa Congress on Pain"
then i think that your flow comes from investigating the meanings of Pain in Africa.
What kind of pain is it?
Who bears that pain?
What is a solution to that pain?
What is the purpose of the Congress?
Who is the target audience?
etc etc. there are lots of questions that can get you started with a concept.
and you need all the elements for the poster before the draft, not after.
dates, names, location, logos, copy etc. as already stated above
--------------------------------------------------
always outnumbered, never outgunned
a 2nd thought, you should do a bit of homework regarding the Congress.
this is the 2nd, how was the first? who was invited?
what was debated, what did they do. that will help you know your client.

i know thats not great advice but he gives you advice that your client would want you to know, the more you know about this project the easier ideas will come to u and overall better it will be
all i really have to say (besides the fact that this looks like a very very early start to a poster) is to change the typeface on the 3D Africa its very hard to read
Maybe steer away from so many Photshop filters. The copy is too difficult to read because of the beveling and the perspective. Maybe if you just played around with the actual composition instead of the filters, you might have something.
Besides, the continent of Africa is just floating there. It doesn't look right.
what is is for?
Normally a title has a title, some body copy, contact details etc etc etc. It is useful to get some more info! Map looks good though.

There needs to be a mandatory "concept form" filled out before anyone posts something for critique.

You're not serious, are you?
You're not serious, are you? I hope it's not the way brainstorming sessions are set where you work.

It says nothing.
You are speaking about nothing. You show me africa in 3D. I thought this is a CD Movie. It's name African Congress.
Try to place on the poster
infos. Maybe a body copy which tells me the story.
This is not a posted, just a
This is not a posted, just a 3d render. You need to come up with a message!
Hideous..

Too much beveling going on
