18 | • Things I like: | |
19 | - | Placements, colouring. This is a very nice texture-based cover. |
19 | + | Colour palette, brushes, placements. Everything looks good and the mood suits the story genre. |
20 | - | I like how you chose a plain background and used a few brushes to bring the model in the centre of attention. |
20 | + | |
21 | - | I love the effects used for title, and the purple-orange contrast makes the cover less ordinary. |
21 | + | |
22 | • Things I dislike: | |
23 | Text, Models' hue. | |
24 | The author's name and the subtitle have the same size, which may be confusing for the reader. | |
25 | - | The watermark, some effects. The signature is in a totally different font and it draws attention unnecessarily. |
25 | + | The models have a yellow hue, it makes them look pale in comparison to the rest of the cover. |
26 | - | I also don't like the association of lens flare and grunge texture, they are opposites for me. |
26 | + | |
27 | ||
28 | • For improvement: | |
29 | Move the author's name at the top of the cover, all words on a single line. | |
30 | - | change the font of your watermark, and might look better if you remove the grunge texture. |
30 | + | Using color balance, give the models an orange-y tone instead of yellow. |
31 | ||
32 | ||
33 | • Score: 9/10 | |
34 | - | Reason: -0.5 font, -0.5 texture |
34 | + | Reason: -0.5 text, -0.5 hue |

45 | • Things I like: | |
46 | - | This is stunning. The textures are beautifully used and the effect you did with two halves is nice. |
46 | + | I like the idea you went for and the colors used! |
47 | - | The light flare is beautiful and really caught my eye. |
47 | + | |
48 | - | The left eye is so beautiful, the way you brought out the *shine* (see what i did there). |
48 | + | |
49 | - | The colors and the psd are really good together. |
49 | + | |
50 | The title is very low quality (blurred out?) and the couple looks kind of out of place. | |
51 | The author is also placed in an awkward place. I can see some awkward things around the cover, | |
52 | like in the R there's a half erased moon of a flower or something. | |
53 | - | The red in the text while beautiful in the title, is a bit hard to read the author. |
53 | + | |
54 | - | The right eye looks blurrier than the left, but it could be due to the grid texture over it. |
54 | + | |
55 | - | The watermark is a little too visible. |
55 | + | |
56 | I think you should move your watermark up, put the author where it was, and move the subtitle to where the author was. | |
57 | I also think blending in the couple (referring to colors) would make it look more put together. | |
58 | Maybe erase the parts where you forgot- like on the bottom right there's a half pink moon, and in the R. | |
59 | - | Maybe change the author so it's just all white, or make the red brighter. |
59 | + | |
60 | - | If the watermark is bolded, unbold it or lower the opacity of it. |
60 | + | • Score: 7/10 |
61 | Reason: deduction for text and blending | |
62 | ||
63 | - | • Score: 9.5/10 |

64 | - | Reason: deduction for text |
