Review
First impression [0/5] : My first impression is already not good ever since I saw your 'anything you'd like to say' column, that I really can't wait to write your review only to point these things out. You know that you have been doing the things that might not make your graphic as good as possible, so, in all honesty, my review might not be so important. Excuse me, why the heck are you 'too lazy'? 'Lazy' is no longer an acceptable reason, and no good improvement goals can be reached when you are lazy. Also, pixlr is a phone app, right? It might be hard to do a lot of edits on phone, so I truly suggest you to use laptop apps, be it online or not. The good designers weren't proficient as well.
Font [5/10] : The quote is not readable and the font is just the same with the title, which looks somehow boring. Nothing is barely done at the typography, so I can't really say anything. (you realize it by yourself though, you mentioned 'in case if it's hard to read' in your aff page, so don't you know that it's hard to read and not pleasing?)
Mood [12/15] : Black background gives the vibe of angst, but you definitely can do better. The girl is smiling, tho?
Coloring [5.5/10] : Matching the color schemes of the characters in a poster is a must. The girl's skintone and Chanyeol's are way too different, that they still feel like they come from totally separated picture and it doesn't form one graphic, you get what I mean? (you mentioned this in your aff post, means you realize this, please do things that can fix the mistakes yourself even realize). The flowers are cute, though.
Placement [5/10] : The girl and boy are just placed awkwardly that the poster doesn't seem to tell a story. The text is placed way too dominating.
Blending [5/15] : Blending doesn't just mean 'deleting the bottom part of a png' and you get it. Just deleting their bottom parts are weird, and it doesn't blend with the background. Adding more pictures can work for this. All the pictures still look 'off. Also, please do not be lazy to fix the fix-able imperfection, esp. the girl.
Resources [10/20] : You did try some things like adding the stars behind, however, it still doesn't look nice and still off. Maybe you can try putting another texture on top of everything, or a coloring (but pixlr barely has any graphic-worthy coloring packs, right)
Overall look [6/15]
Total score: 0+5+12+5.5+5+5+10+6 = 48.5/100
Personal comment: First of all, I am sorry if it is too harsh or it's an inaccurate review o/ There is still a lot room of improvement, okay? Although I know that it's inconvenience to be detail and diligent in phone edit apps, please do try to fix the things as hard as possible! Do well! ^^ -asdfghjm15
