▲ creativity [11/15]

Overall, I think the idea of the poster is quite well thought out. I like the use of the feather to place the character stocks in the poster and the box in which you placed the title. It's a good start but I think you could have done alot more and built on the ideas you already have. The background could use alot of work and other elements could be added into the poster to make it not as plain.

 

▲immaculacy [9/15]

Although I have mentioned earlier that I like the general idea of the poster and the use of the feather, I find that the things in the poster do not match well. There is no direct connection between the barren tree, the feather and the title. The title is "Doll House". Where are the dolls? Where is the house? Where are the creepy torn dresses? An empty bedroom? A lone intricate cup and teapot? I feel that you could have done so much more with the poster but you didn't and that's a wasted opportunity... Also the background is very confusing. As in, I have no idea what it's supossed to be. It's a brown thing with an odd light source and specks of white powder on it. Oh and of course the barely-alive tree. It's just bleh.

 

▲ color usage [11/15]

I find that the choice of colour is quite weird actually. I don't know why you chose brown of all colours. It's not even an oak brown or something. It's slightly tinged with purple/pink! Why? I feel that the best colours to use in horror posters is red if it involves gruesome deaths or simply none at all. Black and white. Grey. Gray. Imagine this. A murderer stares at you with bright blue eyes from behind his hot pink fringe. His neon green lips stretch up into a smile as you scream bloody murder, not expecting another person in your bedroom. He tugs at his yellow jacket slightly and pulls out a an orange pistol. By now, your eyes were BURNING from the walking rainbow that currently stood in your room in his lavender loafers. Compare that with the young girl you find in your kitchen as your hand stayed frozen atop the home phone on your counter. She silently stares at you with wide, grey eyes. They did not blink even when you averted your gaze to look at her white dress, trails of black water sliding down to pool at her feet. Her skin was a sickly grey, much paler than her pupils as they continued to burn holes into your own. Her jet black hair hung loosely past her shoulders and framed her face in straggly, wet strands. You see, the absence of colour makes the mood more solemn and when used correctly, unnerving. So by simply desaturating your poster, it will make it much more scarier and you won't have to worry about matching colours anymore! But yeah. Tone down on colours.

 

▲ typography [5/10]

I can barely read what is on the poster. I think you should use a more neutral font for the title because the poster gives off a very vague feeling as it is so a plain font will just escalate it and for the better. It's kinda like a little girl against a rotting, grey wallpaper-ed wall. You can only see her from chest up and she only fills up about a quarter of the poster. Her dress is a paler shade of grey and has no details on it. Her hair is straight and black, let loose without any accessories. No fringe. It's parted on the left and just falls freely against her face. Her head is tilted to the side and she does not show any sign of emotion. Good luck sleeping tonight but that's what I'm trying to convey you see. Simplicity is best for horror posters. It's mysterious and all horror stories are mysterious no matter what. You know who the serial killer is? Oh. But you don't know who he's going to kill next. Could it be someone he should have never even thought of killing? You know there is a ghost? What is it going to do next? Will it write a cryptic message on the wall? Will it mess with the television set? Will it follow the family even though they moved across the country? Mystery. The colours of the text could be worked on. It's barely legible. And like I've just rantedpointed out, simplicity is key. You don't even need italics. Just give it as it is. Not everything needs to be written Chinese-ancient-scroll style. Horizontal is the way to go...

 

▲ blending [13/15]

I'm quite satisfied by your blending. I'm especially fond of the blending of colours you did in the silhouette of the feather. It blends with the character stock well and they are blended quite well against each other too. The feather stands out just enough against the background and yep. Great job.

 

▲picture(s) used [12/15]

I think the pictures you used are good. But the colours are too contrast-ed. The colours are way too sharp so tone down on that. I'm particularly dissatisfied by the tree. The poor, rotting tree wasn't well cut out and the edges look jagged. I can see some white spots and overall, it's just a weird thing. Consider eliminating it completely? Replace it with the sky or something.

 

▲overall [10/15]

I personally find the background very gah. It's quite unsatisfactory as nothing is going on! The specks of powder is questionable and I just have no idea what it is. I like the feather but I'm afraid that is the only part of the poster I actually like.

 

 

total [71/100]

I regret that I cannot give you a better score as there's nothing much to your poster so it was quite...yeah... I think you could do way better so hwaiting! Ugh!! You can do it!!! Halsu isseo!!! I believe in you!! Haha. I feel weird saying this to someone I don't really know but there's jsut so much potential!! I feel so aakfaolfqoindascka /keyboardfalconpunch
