So, I made some Portal 2 posters as part of my year in design challenge.

Enjoy. Feedback and comments are always welcome.

Very clean designs, I like the one on the right because of the contrast between the colors. However there's nothing distinctly "Portal 2" about it. If anything these are Portal 1 posters.

@Tuffgong: Dude they totally say "2" which is very distinctly "Portal 2" if you ask me.

@Tuffgong: I know, but it's a bit too late to be making portal 1 posters. I felt like just having the 2nd logo distinguished it enough (since I'm not really trying to say anything about the games). But you are right.

@StarvingGamer: I think he meant there wasn't anything distinctly sequelish about the actual illustration, in which he is correct.

I like the minimalistic approach you took. Although, I think they would look better without the vignetting.

Looks really great. I think a steel-gray one would go well too.

@BeachThunder: I vignette almost everything at the moment, it's a bad habit. I just like it so much. On my monitor its so subtle I didn't think people would notice.

Companion Cube is a bit too Portal 1.

Red and Blue also feel like it's supposed to be some multiplayer shooter (With a lot of them defaulting to Red vs Blue).

I think the general Portal colors are clean white, black or grey for the most part. Valve's posters reflect that clean clinical look pretty well.

Damn, these are great.
And I like the vignetting, it gives it more depth.

@animateria: Thanks for the constructive criticism. I wasn't really trying to create something that fits in with Valve's style, but I know what you mean. The reason for the red and blue was that I designed it purely red (as I do a lot lately) and then I decided to try blue and I couldn't decide. I thought they looked nice next to each other, but it is very Red vs Blue, Team Fortressy.
