Username: 4everlittlemsfangirl

Experience: 1 year and 4 months

Themes: angst, horror, dark

first impression: [ 8 / 10 ] oh my, you just gave me goosebumps feelings when the first time i saw your poster. like seriously, the feelings really exist and obvious. however, there's still kind of things that i don't really like. for example, the character picture choices, and the barcode thingy on the left side. (it's credit, isn't it?) will tell you more about this uhm, maybe in themes and font section.

themes: [ 12 / 15 ] like i've told you before, your poster has so much feelings. i could feel the angst feelings from how you put the title in the plain dark blue, really shows me the alone feelings. the dark feelings is obviously there, from the textures you used and coloring, everyone will surely could feel the darkness. but i didn't catch the horror feelings. why the horror aura is not exposed? i think it because the character pic you used. the pic you used is not fitting the horror feelings. (or even angst, but it still have angsty feelings, still better than horror) the character pic you used is showing like freedom or something like rebellion instead of horror or angst i think? -bricked- but it's only my opinion, though. but it would be better if you choose a pic like bowing or looking to the ground. but besides, your graphic is matched perfectly with the themes♡

coloring: [ 19 / 20 ] wow, i should say that the colors you used are great and matched with the theme. it's not too dark, but however the character's pic looks too bright for me. i think, it because his whole clothes white already, and the contrast on the coloring (from psd coloring i guess?) is making the picture more bright but making it too bright instead. all you need to do is just make an experience with the exposure tool. i recommend you to move the gamma correction's pointer a bit to the right and or the offset pointer to the left. hope you got what i meant. your overall coloring is so ing awesome, keep it up!♡

technique: [ 23 / 25 ] there's actually no flaws in your technique. you've blended all the textures perfectly. your cutting skill is more than wonderful, really! there are just two little problems that actually doesn't really influence your overall graphic. i state them here, only for reminder for your next graphic, so you could be more thorough at making graphic. first, the unclear texture. look at the left side of your title, you can see there's an unclear texture. you should just erase it. because it's kinda ruin the emptiness feelings around the title, if you got what i meant. second, the character placement. i think the character is supposed to be on the middle? but it looks like a bit to the left instead on the middle. move it a bit to right would be great. same thing goes on the title, move it to the right would be great.

resources: [ 9 / 10 ] yes, you used all textures in a right place, and every texture you used matched the theme perfectly and giving out the feels. but it would be more perfect, if you add texture that showing horror feelings, for example shadows or something horror. but besides, your texture and background usings are great! goodjob!♡

typography: [ 12 / 15 ] your title font choices and color choices are wonderful! it really has the feelings and viewable. what i don't like is the barcode font on the left bottom. i tell you, you only can use barcode font in magazine themed poster and or fancy poster ONLY. because barcode font is really annoyed everyone's eyes when see your poster. it's too striking and odd. but besides, your typography skill is good already.

bonus: [ 4 / 5 ] i love the whole feelings you made♡

total points: 87/100 - magneficent♡

tips for you: wow, congratulations for your second featured graphic! your graphic is absolutely amazing. just take a note what i've told you in technique and theme section. you're so so so much amazing♡

Chapter 18: Hello, thank you for your review! I really like it <3 and yes, sometimes idk where should i put the quote even the title .___. and then, thank you if you wil make tips for something like this, i will read it and practice it! :D
Btw, i used yoona with this : http://snsdpics.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/yoona-innisfree-jeju-poster.jpg
and Luhan : http://i5.minus.com/ij0REWOqY5EUi.jpg
i think, that's why Luhan looks cracked. btw, i always play with adjustment like that, brightness, colow balance, and sometime curves but the result is really unexpected lol it became very dark and very bright. it's really hard hehehe
btw, thank you for the featured <3 feels so grateful here!
thank youuuuuuu! :D

Chapter 17: I don't think it's a must to do blending when doing a dark poster. just my opinion. there's so many blends in aff that most posters look like a copy of each other. i think you should've actually given her credit for trying out something new.
