    whats the poster for? give us some background on it

    it looks pretty sweet though, loving the image in text.
    i think the fireball should maybe either be higher so you can see the word more or maybe flying off the right side with the text burnt like paper?

    /shrug
    looks awesome anyway (:

    ah. looks good still!
    is there going to be more text? i'd like to see this when you're done with it.

    I would have the fire ball circle around the title to the S, leaving a flame trail that fades out near the top left corner. For balance, I would add something just under the 'T' in times.

    The rest of the space should contain event details that look similar to a movie poster.

    I'm guessing the theme of the event is al-Akhirah. If so, here's a good movie poster for concept reference.

    Image

    The concept of the end is illustrated by the destruction of the earth, the composition is very well balanced, and fits sort of the same feel that I think you are going for.

    The text at the bottom is hard to read, I suggest if you go with that style, make sure it is easily readable. You wouldn't want anyone to get lost or show up at the wrong time, lol.

    How did you make the flame?

    okay so i might be a little picky here BUT thats what critiques are all about, right?!

    the hierarchy of info is kinda off, like I'd make the date and time a little bigger since thats really important. it should be bigger than the masjid it self.

    also i dont know about the colors you chose for the text.. but it looks awesome! mA.

    what are you using to make these?
    plus if the output is CMYK, that might be the issue here lol.
