Since I offered up the first go-round of a poster design promoting relationship skills I’ve found to be incredibly valuable in happy, successful relationships, I’ve received a great deal of helpful feedback.
I’ve redesigned the poster, taking a lot of that feedback into account. It’s been tightened up considerably, some of the principles have been changed, the design has been tinkered with, and generally it’s been greatly improved by your thoughts and comments. So, thanks!
Here’s the new version:
I’ve also created an entry for it on my online store; you can actually order copies of it now! The poster is 16″ x 20″ (smaller than the Map of Human Sexuality, which is a monster), and printed on very heavy semi-gloss paper. Barring any major last-minute edits, it will be going in for printing tomorrow, which means I will be able to start shipping it early next week.
I’d suggest two changes — the sentence that starts “A partner who CHOOSES to be with you…” is run together on the next line, without spacing.
And I’d put “INTEGRITY MATTERS” on one line, maybe with both words in bold. Because, seriously — that’s a big one.
Love this poster, and they’re definitely pieces of knowledge that I wish I’d had in the beginning, rather than learning through trial and error!

Yeah, I know that arranging this kind of thing in a visually pleasing manner can be problematic!! It’s a nifty poster, and I think that the changes you’ve incorporated since the first iteration have made it stronger 🙂

Stop the presses!
Watch out for the 11th line from the bottom. There is an extra space before the first word in the line, “circumstances”.
Hope you catch it in time…

Got it, thanks!

Very nice. Small edit, if there’s still time: the line starting with “circumstances” has an extra space at the beginning.
Yep, so there is. It’s been fixed, thanks! 🙂

Really like it! Thank you for all of the many hours of work you’ve put into this project (and the community as a whole!), and for sharing it with us.

If you’re still taking edits I have a few very minor ones.
In “All of us are lousy at predicting how we will feel in new circumstances” the term lousy just really bugs me ( no pun intended). I think you can do better vocabulary-wise.
In the second to last one I think it would sound a lot cleaner, and be a lot easier to read if a few of the “and”s were taken out, such as “filled with beauty, chaos and joy, sorrow and pain, uncertainty and ecstasy, heartache and passion; to fear…”
That’s a good call. I changed it just before I sent it to press. 🙂

It isn’t! Fixed now, thanks!
Except, it looks like you’ve changed the phrase after “integrity matters”, but not the colour? I am confused.
