Got bored, made this poster. Thinking along the lines of if the NSA went public with the "Big Brother" stuff and made it into a community based government program. How does it look? Pointers on making it nicer?

You need a grid, my dude. I like the color, I like your type choices, but you gotta grid this up. And a more straightforward layout might better convey the whole gov't bureau we'll protect you but take us seriously thing you're working at.

So should I abandon the angles? I was sort of going for a crude aperture around the "community". "We're watching you"

i like the angles actually, but the uncle sam line at the end doesn't really fit the theme, i think?
>>
it is quite good actually, to bad it is for the NSA.i wouldn't change a bit.

I think you could still do the aperture, but the text suffers for it. We read blocks of text in a very mechanical way, which is why playing with the alignment is usually a bad idea unless you intentionally want to make it hard to read. As the viewer scans from one line to the next, the next line should start in a reliably similar position as the last. This is why angled paragraphs are discouraged, and right-aligned text is basically a cardinal sin. (Robert Bringhurst's Elements of Typographic Style, And Joseph Muller Brockmann's Grid Systems are great reading on these topics)

Legibility aside, one could argue that a straightforward grid would communicate a sense of security and seriousness one would expect of gov't propaganda. Accenting it with that stock photo of the people gathered near a flag is a really nice touch, and I don't think it would suffer in the least from a more orderly layout.
