Fashion show poster

This is the work which was applied some technique in Illustrator that my teacher showed us in the last class. I think those are quite simple but very useful. Now, i can use them to create very interesting things like the "content" or the "inside" of the text. Before the lecture, i just can create text and fill them with the basic colors or the gradient. However, have a look at my work, you guys can see the text in it is very colorful as well as unique ^^

I myself don't like colorful things but this work i created can be considered as some thing used for fashion purpose such as the cover of a CD containing the styles in 2008. Therefore, it should be looked impressive and attractive. However, you can see there are only 5 colors that i used and Black is the main one. As you know, Black is presented for Elegance.

The background is the combination of 3 images and i designed it in Photoshop. Then, i made the text in Illustrator.

There are two things in my work that i like a lot.
-The first one is the position of the number "2008". Viewers might easily recognize that it looks like a necklace of the model in the background.
-The second one is the lips represented as the letter "O" in the word "fashion". Its colors suit the background perfectly, doesn't it?

*I did some other versions of the poster but i like this one most because for me, it looks quite "art" and "strange", and i didn't break my style in design: SIMPLE is perfect!
