Graphic Review for Immakpoploverable: "First Love"

 

 

Designer: immakpoploverable
Theme/Mood: romance, slight angst
Reviewer: SapphireQueen


First Impression: 8/10

It's okay... I don't have much to say about this at first glance.

 

Mood/Theme: 17/20

I understood the romance part, but the slight angst feel could have been conveyed better; not just through photos. This seems more like an extremely joyous romance because of the light colors and balloon stock.

 

Pictures: 17/20

The photo you chose for Seohyun is great and perfect for the mood as well as placement. Daehyun's is... I believe over-sharpened. You got a good picture but the way you used it and blended it is awkward (more on that under "Technique")

 

Fonts/Titles/Quotes/Credits: 2/20

Yes, two. It was not a typo. This is your weakest point, and I'm sorry that I have to spazz about it. EWEWEWEWEWEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

I can't even read the text that started with a b and is in front of "First Love". I suggest you get rid of the large and unnecessary spacing in the title, change the font completely (ew!) And make the quote's font simpler. The credits' font is okay because it is hard to see and in a corner, but it does have some problems. I won't be picky about that because everyone has their own credits style and it's usually repetitive so yeah.

 

Coloring: 8/10

I love the colors that you used but... I believe that you didn't really need to make the entirety of the poster/banner that bluish purple hue, although I think it's a nice touch. It made everything far too light and not really "slight angst" anymore. Also, there's a random splotch of orange-yellow on Seohyun's hair and it's really distracting and uglesss so I suggest you take that out. The rest is fine :D

 

Technique: 16/20

Um there's not really any trace of reallllyyyy bleh blending, so that's good...
Seohyun looks like you just lowered her opacity a bit when she 'blends' into the stock with the girl running. Daehyun's blending is a bit rough at the bottom because the black really contrasts with the white, so I suggest you use a larger and less opacitized fuzzy brush eraser whilst blending and not the really tiny ones that make the blend obvious and hard. As I said before, Dae looks like he was over-sharpened, like something I would do. I'm not sure if that's just the photo, but if it isn't, then that's something you can watch out for and work on later.

 

Score: 69/100

 

Bonus: 4/5

I actually really like this piece (: It's way better than those romance-y pieces of I make D;
An extra few points because the raw score was 69.
Tenkeu for entertaining me.

 

Overall Score: 73/105

Lol harsh... I think you were just. You had reasons to justify why you thought what you did, though expanding more and going into more depth would have made this review better. Some comments could have been better if they were left out to not hurt feelings, but this review isn't bashingor anything.
I'd love to have you review my works, but I'm not confident lol.
Anyways, good job to the designer and you :)
