Unhappy with my previous version, I decided to take another stab at this project. I replaced almost the entire bottom half of this poster with some hand lettering and a "hilly" backdrop (Fayetteville has many hills). I also reworked the color scheme and striped down a lot of the details to make this much simpler and easier to view. 

This is all a learning process to me, so instead of getting frustrated I'm just trying to enjoy it! I am much more satisfied with this version than the last.
