Marek, I like your style and the way you distill the essentials out of boardgame titles. The Le Havre poster beautifully captures the style of 1920s maritime advertisements without just repeating them. Pity I am not in a position to comission graphic design- I knew whom to ask.
Marek, I think you do great work, and I especially love your Pandemic and Dungeon Lords images. This one will need to grow on me because, just to me, it looks like the ship is at the dock, but sinking...

I thought I was the only one....the perspective looks off, like the front of the ship is jacked way up....? Really nice though otherwise.
I study games and gamers at the Singapore-MIT GAMBIT Game Lab.
I hate bowling. It's just multiplayer solitaire.
This is really great! Given the odd perspective (which I didn't notice until it was mentioned) do you plan on revising the image before selling it as a poster?
Whether or not this is what he intended (love the work by the way...what size will you be selling the posters as?), I'd guess it's spelled out at the top as a sort of throw back to French advertisements of the (could be wrong on the dates) mid-to-late 1800's. It seems to be advertising the services of this shipping enterprise, which is pretty wholly appropriate for the game heh.

Thats because it IS sinking...just as the hopes and dreams of all those who play this game do.....

Yes, of course. I will revise all posters before selling. I have only one problem - first posters where desgined too small for A2 format and some of them will be much changed. Also I'm not planning to sell all of them. First will be those with the most thumbs

I don't mind the perspective, but why include the game title at the top? I don't think you did that with any others.
Personally, I don't like it spelled out for me. Pun intended.
First posters haven't got title because they where some kind of puns on my blog. Now time of making one poster is much longer and final version is no more pun. I always wanted title on them but maybe you would like posters without describtions? Please give me feedback here or better on Posters List
