                                              THE GRAPHIC GAMES : ROUND 1


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DESIGNER : caessium

COVER : https://68.media.tumblr.com/8f6df2cb5f503201c4443d0bd5d90a90/tumblr_ot2zr3tMZ81w1eadpo1_540.png

( CRITIQUE FROM JUDGE 1 ) @tropicolds :


• Things I like:
The colour palette and the simplicity. There's not much to say about this cover,
it's simple but charming at the same time.


• Things I dislike:
Text, the model's face, the white shadow.
The subtitle is at the top, but the title at the bottom, it makes it harder to read, thus not giving the desired effect.
The face of the model is not well blended, especially at the forehead. Also, the white shadow around is a little awkward.


• For improvement:
Switch the places of subtitle and the author's name,
remove the shadow and use more shades to paint the face.


• Score: 8.5/10
Reason: -0.5 for text, face and shadow separately

( CRITIQUE FROM JUDGE 2 ) @impassively :


• Things I like:
I like the colors, the font, and the simplicity.


• Things I dislike:
I don't like how you put the subtitle at the top, because the flow is a bit messed up that way-
you want the title to be read before the subtitle.
There's a really small white line around the model you can see with the flowers on the right.
The positioning of the watermark is awkward.
The vector doesn't look very good, either, the shadowing didn't work at all.


• For improvement:
I'd recommend moving the "story by" and the watermark to the top where the subtitle is,
and move the subtitle to the bottom. Maybe hard-erase or defringe the tiny line around her on the right.
The vector part- her face- I can see you used a hard brush on what should be the highlight of her face.
But you should use soft erasers for highlights/shadows. For a really cool look, maybe make the title engraved
into the ribbon (it just requires a lot of experimentation with the layer style).


• Score: 7/10
Reason: deduction for vector and text
