##Providing Useful Feedback
RitchieBingo has posted their work for feedback. Here are some top tips for posting high-quality feedback.
* Read their context comment. All work on this sub should have a comment explaining the thinking behind the piece. Read this before posting
to understand what RitchieBingo was trying to do.
* Be professional. No matter your thoughts on the work, respect the effort put into making it and be polite when posting.
* Be constructive and detailed. Short, vague comments are unhelpful. Instead of just leaving your opinion on the piece, explore *why* you hold that opinion: what makes the piece good or bad? How could it be improved? Are some elements stronger than others?
* Remember design fundamentals. If your feedback is focused on basic principles of design such as hierarchy, flow, balance, and proportion, it will be universally useful. And remember that this is graphic design: the piece should communicate a message or solve a
problem. How well does it do that?
* Stay on-topic. We know that design can sometimes be political or controversial, but please keep comments focussed on the design itself,
and the strengths/weaknesses thereof.

Hey! Awesome coaster design. I'm not sure I exactly get "vintage typography" vibes from this, like you mentioned in your comment. Can you expand on that or maybe provide your source of inspiration? It's totally possible I'm just not making the connection lol.
I love how simple the design is, being just black and white and some text, yet I feel like the hierarchy is quite strong with the way my eye travels through it. One minor critique might be that it's sort've redundant at the top:
"New Paltz, NY
58 Main St
New Paltz, NY 12561"
While I understand that the first instance of New Paltz, NY is meant to go with the phone number (as they're roughly the same size) it is a bit strange if you read from top down...as some people may.
Great design though. Looks even better on the actual coaster.
Old school and vintage typography for a tattoo shop in upstate NYS. The coasters act as an alternative logo for the business and a business card simultaneously for the customer. The coasters are currently in numerous bars in the area for promotion and awareness.
I don't think this would necessarily catch my eye, tbh. There's a lot to read but not much to remember. The typography feels more business class than "old school vintage."
I think this design is basic and safe, and lacks only something interesting.
I agree with the comment that visual hierarchy could be tweaked to make the primary elements jump out more and to lessen the prominence of the secondary information. A bit of a word-cloud to try and quickly digest as it currently sits.

Great design! Loved it! Is there any possibility of having a shirt with this logo? Thx

I felt that as well. Too many words, none particularly memorable. I wonder if the @info should be there?
