First Impression (6/10)

Ngaaw this looks so sad. Definitely has a light angst vibe to it. Did notice a few issues that were a little distracting.

Theme: Light Angst (10/10)

No problems here. Definitely suits light angst.

Composition & Balance (15/20)

In general your composition was fine. There is a balance between images and negative space which is good. I do feel however that some aspects could be slightly positioned better: Yuri is a bit too much to the left. It would be nicer if she was moved more to the middle. The quote next to Kai would look better right in the middle of the white space above his shoulder, as it looks awkward just slightly sitting on him. Also I feel the title takes up too much of the bottom half of the graphic.

Selection of Textures, Stock & Characters (13/20)  

All 3 characters were different. Kai was LQ and a little dark, Kris was HQ and a tad brighter, and Yuri was HQ but had a slight bluish/purplish tint. I'm also not sure that image of Kai. That shadow is a distracting blotch of dark colour, in my opinion anyway. I also think with all the bright colouring and bright white negative space, the top stock image was a little too dark compared to the rest of the graphic. Brighten.

Typography  (5/10)

I didn't mind the font for your quote, but I wasn't feeling the fonts for your title. I think your title takes up too much of your poster and that they're too thin. I think a thicker, more fuller font(s) would have been better.

Colouring  (4.5/10)

Your colouring was probably your main issue. It was the colouring of your characters that let you down. Since they took up majority of your graphic and they all had different colourings, it distracted me too much from fully appreciating your poster. You can adjust colouring through curves, levels etc. or by using textures, but yeah be specifically aware of this.

Use of Techniques (6/10)

Your blending and erasing skills were alright, although I didn't like the way you partially erased Yuri's head. I'm not a fan of that kind of blending.

Overall (6/10) - What are my final thoughts?

Overall, not too bad. For a couple of months, you're definitely on your way. Brush up on your colouring.

TOTAL SCORE: 65.5/100

I hope I wasn't too mean :/ I really do hope that you'll do well in the future :D

(PS: I'm sorry but I only have enough karma to give you and -Jester 30 karma points. I hope that's enough)
