My promotion ad (is that the title of our 2nd assignment?)

So, anyway, I pick Henry Lau. Em, I had been thinking about this assignment for a week now(not really lah, just when I'm taking bath, heh~), & I cant seem to decide on what I want to do. A concert poster, domino's exhibition, magic show, etc. But I wanted to do something more to music, a concert, probably. At first I choose Celine Dion, but then, I figure that my lecturer WOULD know "much" about Celine Dion, then he'll pick on this & that, so I decide to choose someone he doesnt know. Btw, it was last minute idea, ha~, I did these just before I went to sleep. Heh~ Becoz the next day, we have to show sketches, & I think it's better to "create it out" rather than sketching, which I think is useless becoz it doesnt look like the real thing, so, he wont know what I'm explaining, get what I mean? Henry Lau suddenly pops in my mind, then I think, why not? Ya, Henry Lau, since he's quite new, & haha, I have to fake that as if he is a star! I mean, he is, but no album, right? My lecturer ask me what's the name of his album, & I say,"Henry Lau", "Just Henry Lau?", "Yap." Hahaha~ Hopefully he wont go & search for it, he's quite interested, I think. He's Super Junior's group member, new member. Actually I saw him before, couple years back, in 吴忠宪‘s 我猜我猜我猜猜猜(weird name), if I'm not wrong. So, below are the poster ad I did lah.. I use 10 minutes to it oh, so not that prefect.


My first concept. I know the lecturer's style, he likes last-minute work. I did this for fun, I know he'll ask me to change this & that for 6/7 times, then before the day I present, baru he approve. See lah... So, I showed him. 
He said, "..change the "ticket at"(looks strange)."
"Oh.."
Then, "The image looks like Final Fantasy, I dont like it."
"Ok..............."
"The font looks strange too.. what font did he use for his album??" 
I had to answer,"..neh, same font like "The Violinist Dancer"..." 
"Hmm, change it." 
Hey, I love the font leh, I think it suits the poster leh... sigh. (HE NEEDS TO PICK ON STH.)
Second concept. Almost the same lah actually. 
He said, "Nah, too sentimental, he is a dancer, I can't see the fact that he's a dancer, looks like he's just an ordinary professional violinist.." 
*da da* OUT.
3rd concept. He choose this one. BUT, 
"From the pic, I can see he's a dancer, but where's the violin?". 
"Behind, cant you see?"
"Nope, common' put in a violin lah, please. & why is the word touching his head?"
*blink* "Erm.." 
"Move it up a bit lah, please. You're a graphic designer, use some other font lah. What program did you use to do this?" 
"Erm, Photoshop?."
"What?? ............. haiyah, so old fashion ah. Common', use Illustrator lah."
"..........."
Sigh. So, anyway, this is what my lecturer commented. 
This is just the 1st try, I had to do 5 more before he can finally approve. Just wait & see.
