Review

First impression [2/5] : I don't think my first impression is really good... I'll elaborate in the review below.

Font [6.5/10] : You can pick better fonts for every parts! If the genre is romance, I somehow think that the font (esp title) isn't really fitting. You can go to dafont.com for so many nice fonts! Also, for me, the 'times' is more of the highlight than the 'the', and the font you used for the word 'the' might fit better for the word 'times'?

Mood [10/15] : I'm not sure. What's so fantasy? The smokes? It feels sliiiightly romance because there are a girl and a boy, but the entire poster doesn't really scream it. Also, there is a sad genre, it's called angst. The picture choices are prety sad, with the entangled hands and the silhouette, but more effort can obviously be done to show it off more.

Coloring [5/10] : Not many things are done. Were you planning for a clashing color scheme like fire-ice, the red top and the blue bottom? It's not mixing nicely, though? I suggest you to download PSD colorings, those are coloring effects that are already made by people and packed into one. Try deviantart.com!

Placement [5/10] : I am not fond of the whole placing. It feels like the hands are just stuck there, and the girl and Chanyeol are not even the main characters?

Blending+technique [10/20] : This is my biggest issue about the poster. The girl loses half of her head and it's covered with the hands that also lost a part of the fingers?? You might really need to place either the girl or the hand in another place. Chanyeol also lost his nose? His head? His back??? I REALLY suggest you to blend not just by erasing their body (!!!!!), but to use textures to make it a lot smoother. The sunset thingy on the back looks like it's just put there and you just delete the bottom part, too. Also, if you zoom in, Chanyeol isn't really neatly rendered, seeing that there are still a lot of white trace around his face and chin. (and this pic is already rendered, right? Don't really overuse the eraser tool/layer mask). My biggest suggestion is, try textures, can be earned from deviantart.com again.

Resources [3/5] : Pretty suitable in good hands, however, you may want to add more that are not pictures/stocks.

Originality [7/10] : Already pretty mainstream, right?

Overall look [7/15]



Total score: 2+6.5+10+5+5+10+3+7+7 = 55.5/100
