Review

First impression [4/5] : This kind of graphic is around my favorite style, so I have a pretty good first impression seeing it. However, there are several things I would like to point out about the poster.

Font [7.8/10] : The font choice is good, however, some things bug me such as the credit that is a little hard to read. The quote, also, has weird punctuation, but I'll let it pass.

Mood [9/15] : I feel the angst, but violence? You might need to put some attributes that show the violence genre, since it feels just angsty.

Coloring [8/10] : Props to you that the coloring is pretty cool. The contrast is a little too high, though.

Placement [9/10] : No comment in this field, the placement is good!

Blending [11/15] : On the sides of Suzy's body, such as her (or hips?) in the second image, there is still some annoying black outline. I learned that not all renders are tidy from the makers, sometimes you need to tidy them up by yourself. Also, if you zoom into the face of the first pic, near her lips there are still some white trace. The texture blending and all are cool.

Resources [18/20] : The resources are good, and the coloring is pretty cool.

Overall look [12/15]



Total score: 4+7.8+9+8+9+11+12 = 78.8/100


Personal comment: First of all, I am sorry if it is too harsh or it's an inaccurate review o/ Wheee, you get more than 75, congratulations! There are still a lot room of improvement, especially in coloring and blending. Notice small details, and you'll be good! -asdfghjm15

graphic title: Inhuman
genre: scifi, artificial intelligence
things you'd like to be emphasized in the review, e.g. typography: overall
the story the graphic tells: A story about a girl who ends up befriending her father's top secret experiment which is an AI that is scarily human compared to the others. Once she finds out her father's true purpose for the AI she helps the AI break out of the laboratory and they go on the run (I can't tell more without spoiling it to no end to my readers).

Chapter 32: Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Yah!! Thank you so much for putting the time and effort into reviewing my poster, I really appreciate it!
Im glad you remember me, hopefully i have improved since then XD
my typography has always been lacklustre ;-; tech me ples
and i have no idea how to do long titles XD
The ghosts are telling the children to come play with them, and when they do, they become faceless ooooooooh
for the blending yes youre right, that is exactly what I did huhuhu
/ashamed T^T
It looks pretty normal on my phone, what do you see?
yeh i need sum more kool resources, this was made in the earlier days of my designing so i just threw stuff together and hoped it looked good huhu ;-;
i dont really do that more, like i dont really throw tons of textures on a poster instead going for something a bit more simplistic i think
I really like manip these days, isso kool!!
Glad you're back and TECH ME SENPAI <3333

Chapter 34: I'm actually surprised this is the reviews cuz this is still one of my fave piece pre 2013.... i think the specific date was actually the summer of 2008/9 cuz i remember i was taking requests for stories while doing a summer session at university ^^

But its unfortunate that you think its plain... this isn't a "BLEND" .... this was skewing away from blend and playing with "new" styles. Its one of my variations I call "stock and block" .... i made that up way back when.
I'm not sure i understand your "placement" comment... if you look at the posters... the boys are sized the same and evenly placed around iu.... and i'm not sure i know where else to place the title.... lower? please elaborate ^^
the images of the characters weren't meant to be "blended" Its TONS of layering. and duplicating image. But yes... as for resources... only one stock was used.

(i didn't know you were critique-ing "blends".... i thought you were experienced in graphics and would be critique-ing design) xD

but it was refreshing hearing your thoughts. I'll be sure to come back and request a review with something new
THANKS FOR THE REVIEW ^^

graphic title: Blood Thirst
genre: mystery, supernatural
things you'd like to be emphasized in the review, e.g. typography: typography, color used and the overall atmosphere/feel/vibe that the design gave since there's no character face to show the emotions
the story the graphic tells: it don't have story but the design was to emphasized about vampire. Honestly, it was design out of fun with not background story for it ^^;;
anything you'd like to say: not related to the graphic but i'm glad to see a graphic review shop that still open and alive since most already abandoned or closed xD

Chapter 33: Thank you for the review! I know he’s super grainy but my school lab has photoshop installed but it doesn’t allow plug ins nor other downloads so I made this with what limited resources I had at the time and that’s very less XD
The torn paper was just because I wanted it to look like someone ripped out a line to reveal the poster beneath lol

This is literally the best font I have cuz ugh school again it doesn’t have any nice fonts at all I mean like dude who uses Trajan pro for angst posters?
Thanks again! This was really helpful^^
