Design dossier evaluation

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...

  1. Well done,
    You should evaluate your work against the design principles. It would also be good if you could up-load your final design.
