themes: romance and a bit sad

first impression: [ 9 / 10 ] i really got the feelings when i saw the poster at the first time. especially the characters' expression which really matched with the themes. the only thing that annoyed my sight is luhan's head. firstly, i only saw the brown area of his hair which i think you cropped it. but suddenly i saw that the shining white on the upper side of his head is also his hair -bricked- will tell you about this on the coloring section.

themes: [ 15 / 15 ] i have nothing to say here. the poster matched with the themes very well! and the feelings of romance and sad are obviously shown. you've done a very good job!♡

coloring: [ 17 / 20 ] the problem on your coloring is different with the problem on your previous reviewed poster. if i was really like the sephia ones, i don't really like the totally-brown colors you attached on this one. i see that, your poster is typically use the one dominant color in a poster. for example you only used brown or sephia or else. (it's only my opinion btw) it's actually okay if you only have one dominant color, but in some cases, the dominant colors make the poster looked hm, bit too boring. i recommend you to add another colors maybe a bit yellow or bokeh textures.  the another thing is, the characters' pictures are too bright, the same case with your previous reviewed poster. it's too bright until luhan's head looks half-disappeared. same thing goes on yoona's picture. her face gesture even covered with the too bright lighting. i suggest you to turning down the exposure or brightness. other than that, the whole colorings you attached on the poster is very neat!

technique: [ 22 / 25 ] you have nothing to fix actually on the technique section, since your bending and cutting technique are wonderful! i will just give you hm an opinion and suggestion. the first thing is the characters position. it would be better (in my opinion) if luhan's picture is higher than yoona's picture or just make both of them on the same height. i suggest you to do this because, you can see that yoona's part on the poster is mucher than luhan's picture. so both of them will be balanced if luhan is upper while yoona is mucher. (hope you get it, i'm bad at explainin. pmsl.) but really, it's only a small thing, your technique is absolutely perfect!♡

resources: [ 10 / 10 ] again, nothing to say. the textures you used are matched and balancing the poster. though, the position of those textures are good! goodjob!♡

typography: [ 12 / 15 ] you said you were really not good at typography? no! you're not! you typography on this poster is pretty good and i love the position! the hangul is not even messing the poster, it's adorable! the only thing you need to note is the 'written by ...'  font, because you've already used hand-written font for the title, use a non-hand-written one for the author name, so the typography won't looks so boring, i recommend you to use felix titling. i love the font color actually, but it would be nicer if you make the color different with the whole poster's color, so the typography won't look monotone. other than that, i should say that your typography is very neat!♡

bonus: [ 4 / 5 ] i love your neatness and the feelings you've given to the poster.

total points: 89/100 - magneficent♡

tips for you: take a note of what i've told you in coloring section. and i'm so sorry for this late review, hope you don't mindTT_TT

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.
