Coda Poster

Finally got round to actually doing a live brief! This was actually quite fun and frustrating but isn't that the curse of all designers?

At first I took the word 'simple' very literally and the results were less than flattering, not something I'd be proud of at all. Therefore I did a 180 and this is what I came up with! I like it apart from the face that I can't decide which version to choose from, and I need to correct the colour of the headphone on the character - the actual band needs to be white but I can't seem to make Illustrator cooperate with me at the moment...
