First Impressions: [8/10]
at first glance what i thought (sometimes unedited thoughts
and how my mind works when i first look)
mmmm its not bad. its a pretty nice poster.
i dont really have anything particular to say about it at first glance.
 

Technique: [18/20]
how masterful are you at blending/cutting
the cutting around the characters is pretty perfect.
the guy's hat is a teeeny tiiiinnyyyy bit too sharp/jagged but it doesnt matter.
i think the outline around the character is too thick though.
in other circumstances i think it would be fine,
but in this specific poster, because the outlines are "on top" of that paper
and that pinkish box is screened on top it's not clear that it was suppose to be an outline.
on the left for example, it looks like it was cut out in a rectangle.
but the right of the girl the outline is her body shape.
i hope i explained that so its understandable T_T
anyway its a minor detail but it would probably give it a more cohesive feel.
ok so the points for this section was only lowered really due to the flower stock.
i know those blossoms were probably all over the place,
but it makes the piece look messy in my opinion,
and gives the impression that its not blended in as much as it should.
the area above the girls head it looks like theres this light
cloud of pink surrounding her and gives the impression that 
its due to not great blending even though it might be from something else.
 

Resources: [15/20]
does your images/stocks/brushes/textures enhance the poster
i think the images you picked at good. the original quality seems to be good.
i think they were a bit over sharpened though which lowers the quality since they
almost look pixalated. maybe thats due to sharpening but not really having control over it?
what i mean is, there are different ways to sharpen. theres filter > sharpen > sharpen.
but after that step some may not realize there is a way to lower the effects of that.
if you press ctrl + shift + f directly after you can choose to fade the sharpen
and lower its amount. try that if you havent to control it.
for the girl, probably how her skirt/dress goes up on the right was what was weird?
i think manipulating it to extend would have been an alternative to covering it up
i like the flowers there though its a nice touch but maybe cleaning it up a bit
and showing less of would make it look a bit more organized.
i like the paper/notebook stocks. i llike the Eiffel tower.
i would have liked the tower and the flowers to have the same undertones
as the rest of the poster though. the tower looks blue. and the flowers look
black and white. i think its not a bad idea to give them a yellow undertone to 
match the rest of the piece. makes the whole thing feel more "together"
one way to do that is with curves.
im not a big fan of scanlines but ehh theyre subtle enough 
also its a bit flat right now and i think maybe adding a texture in the background
would add a bit of
