TITLE:I Wonder If You Hurt Like Me
MOOD: Angst, Tragedy, Sad
REVIEWER: sorarius
REVIEWED FOR: CoLatte
MOOD AND THEMES (7.5/10)
The title sounds angsty and sad, and I got the sad feeling. But I think the overall color is too warm to be called angsty, because you use bright red-brown as the main color here. Whilst, angst and tragedy give more cold feelings instead of warmth. Actually it’s okay if you uses some warm color for angsty poster but not as bold as you did to this poster, it still have to look colder. Maybe you can lessen its color saturation for some points experimentally and see which one fit the feelings more. Here I give you example when I set less color saturation on your poster and also example of warm & cold colors. You can see that the feelings got colder and angstier when I lessen more its color saturation.
COLOR HARMONY (8/10)
Actually, the color harmonization in this poster is not bad—it just didn’t quite fit the mood. The color scheme you use is quite vintage-ish and oldish and it looks good. But I want to point out one thing: Why do I see Kwon’s hands look brighter than his face? Is there any meaning behind it? Do the hands have a more important story in the poster? In a poster, it’s better to keep the coloring of people’s skin in a same way, unless it has another meaning or else.
STOCK USES (17/25)

Actually I’m not too fond of the combination of old paper texture and broken glass texture—they just aren’t match, sorry. If you use old paper texture, it’s better to use texture of ripped paper or burnt paper as the ‘twist’. But if you actually choos
