ReplyDeleteI'd have a play with changing the masthead font - just to see if you can imrpove on it at all.
The strap at the bottom looks good - there's a good use of colours and your fonts and sizes are spot on.

Also, think about the design rule of squares and proportions. Imagine an invisible square drawn around your Free Posters diamond and the edge of the page area. For it to sit in perfect ratio you'd need to drop the diamond down a little (about 1cm by the look of it) and that would be better on the eye. The key to this is equidistance. The space from the right edge of the diamond and the end of the page should be equal to the space from the bottom of the diamond and the bottom of the page (or image area)
