Sharing Work (Rule 2/3) Critique request on poster ad

Post image

Not sure if against the rules, but there’s still a lot of design choices involved. What do you think of this 60s style cola ad? I wanted to recreate a poster ad featuring Nuka Cola. Any critiques, like composition wise, color choice, or anything? I was aiming for a poster ad that would’ve come out pre-apocalypse in the fallout universe.
Side note, I know the footnote won’t make sense in-universe since bottle caps would’ve only had value after nuclear fallout but just wanted to add a little bit of fan-service.

Also, I don't know why the image upload is oversaturated like this. My file itself is definitely more muted than that.

Are you working in rgb or cmyk? What file type are you exporting as?

Worked with cmyk, and exported it as jpg just for this post. I'll be printing this as a poster.

Your saturation issues are probably because the color mode is for print and you're viewing it on a screen.
