Shortcuts - Quick Reference Poster

Work in progress but thought Id see what u guys recon...

Im gonna put a key on there soon to explain the colour coding of the key sets.

Thought it would be good to have one of these by the computer save looking them up all the time.

I don't like the font or the pink. How about something more formal or instructional?

Yeah might have to pursue that approach, does look a litttle kitsch but that was the look I was going for originally.

The rounded typeface (& colour) isn't too much of an issue for me, I feel it fits the illustration. It just needs to belong to something, rather than just floating centrered for the sake of being centered - it makes it a little generic.

Any chance of a pdf? Would be good to see what shortcuts I have forgotten in my old age...

Why in god's name you would use lorem ipsum for a project that you initiated. It's not like you can't get content from the client.

Form above function?

Thats said might look fine if you tried to do it more like a retro appliance manual look and less modern and spiffy. If it's just functional I can always check the software's own help file. If it looks good I might actually like it/buy it.

Binned the other font and gone for DIN looks a bit more instructional as was suggested.
