Alice Robinson - final crit

For my final critique I decided to keep the poster at 13'x19'. Also deciding to keep it simple because that brick wall has enough stuff on the exterior of it that makes it look cluttered. I wanted the poster to just give off a funny 'ha' when you see it, but also with a quote that would I guess make peoples minds wander. DePaul uses this little motto a lot so I just extended it to the CDM center since there are a lot of opportunities to travel abroad within the school.
I used one font for the poster, and tried to find the same font for the Depaul Logo but couldn't, so I just stuck with one other than the logo. I think personally, its missing something, but I just don't know what. I didn't want to make a poster just stating CDM DePaul university, but I think it needs a little something else...
I ok with how It came out but I had a hard time deciding whether the human arm should have been adams or the arm of God? I wanted to give the impression that the arm is showing skill, creativity, and togetherness maybe giving the person viewing it a sense of encouragement or motivation through self empowerment. However I don't want to offend anyone saying that anyone could be a 'God', but to me I guess if you create something you are the person responsible- I don't know..
Also I looked up on the Impact site that putting the poster up would cost around 4 grand, however on other quote sites it would be only around 3-4 grand including physical labor.
