..but I'm a bit annoyed by the fact that the text is out of focus.
Is that the name of the show, Ocular? In that case I would let
the DOF leave the text untouched and blur the print head/s instead.
Just my 2C. :)

The text is supposed to look as if it is printed on the page, hence the perspective and the matching depth of field to the main image.

Maybe i could of pushed the perspective and depth of field more to make it read in the way I intended more easily.

Good to get another set of eyes on it! Thanks.

Np, mate. My point was that to me it looks like the image is focusing on the print heads instead of the name. I might be wrong here, but if the flyer is for a show named ocular then the focus of the image should be on the name to make it easier for customers/viewers to understand the message. Right now it feel like it's focusing on the modelling of the print heads which, of course, is not wrong if that should be in focus :)
