whats good:
- the background contrasts well with the text so its easier to read.
- Image of simon can be seen, the colours make it stand out (black and white image against coloured background)
- The reflection of NYC blended in well with the non reflection, and blended in well with the black background layer. also the difference in brightness/luminosity/lightning effects and colour between the reflection and original image make it stand out.
Whats not so good:
- The text clutters the poster up, making it feel difficult to read. I used a different colour for the questions, but not sure if it really goes with anything...
- there isnt enough space to fit all the text in.
- some of the text covers simon's hair...
- It looks kinda of boring because the text is just all the same.
- err....the heading looks kinda feminine....only a little bit though!
- To me the text seems kind of small as well.
- I called the background image a reflection...but its not because i accidentally flipped the image before i pasted it....so technically its not a reflection...
What I can change to make it better:
- Space out the boxes a bit more, using the space around the edges as well, use bright green so the question stands out
- Narrow down the amount of questions to the important ones only, and the introduction.
- Put different effects on the text layer to make it bolder and brighter. Use " inner glow" and "Outer shadow" and change the blending mode from normal to " diffrence" to make it more interesting.
- ....umm....im sure Simon wouldnt mind the slight femininity of the heading =D
- make the text a little bit bigger...but it might come out bigger in the actual printout.
- I cant change it because its the background layer...hopefully no one notices it...
Well done,
