 ( CRITIQUE FROM JUDGE 1 ) @tropicolds :
 
 
 • Things I like:
-The colours, the placements, the text (but not entirely).
+Placements, quality of pictures, colouring. You used the circle with models in it as the main focus,
-I like your use of negative space, it guides the viewer's attention towards the model and the objects around it.
+adding little other things around it, which is a good thing. The flare that separates the faces looks nice, too.
-The contrasts are beautiful, I love the purple-orange combo. The subtitles are placed well, they create symmetry.
+The pictures are of high resolution and you used a pretty, skin-friendly psd.
 
 
 • Things I dislike:
-The font used for title is good, but it looks weak compared to the rest of the cover, which is more "explosive".
+Text, lack of symmetry. Even though I said I like the placements, there are still noticeable flaws.
-And it's a bit hard to read if it's in a thumbnail, for example.
+The way their faces are positioned makes the image look weird, and the circle is not exactly in the centre.
 The font used for title is not suitable for a Sci-Fi cover, in my opinion,
 and its colour doesn't suit the rest of the colours in the image.
 Everything has different shades of blue (I think they're called azure or cobalt), only the text is slightly green.
-For title, I suggest using a combination of the sans serif font used in subtitles and a bold script font
+
-like (Noelan, Stylish Calligraphy). "Blacksmith" could be written in a script font, and the rest in sans serif.
+
-But it's just an opinion.
+
 Use a grid to find the centre of the image (the crop tool helps) and try to make something else with the models' faces.
 Change the colour of the text, and maybe change the font to some sans serif fonts like code, asgalt etc
-• Score: 9,5/10
+
-Reason: -0.5 for text
+
 • Score: 8/10
 Reason: -1 for symmetry, -1 for text

 ( CRITIQUE FROM JUDGE 2 ) @impassively :
 
 
-I love pretty much everything about this cover. The subtle background, the textures, the sparkles, the objects, plants,
+
-the butterflies, the cutting of the model, and the colors. the font is really good too! the coloring is really beautiful.
+I absolutely love the idea you went for! this is a stunning cover. the sci-fi vibe and the color scheme go together well,
-I love the purple vs yellow look.
+and I love the light flare thing in the middle. The texture use is amazing, and i like the fonts you used.
 
 
 • Things I dislike:
-There isn't much I dislike about this. All I could say is, the title looks a little plain because it's only white.
+I know it's really hard to align faces but it doesn't look very good- the girl and the guy are at different angles,
-The girl looks slightly over-saturated, but it's not too bad. The watermark is a little stark,
+and nothing matches up- the eyes are on different levels, etc. The light flare looks almost tilted.
-maybe reduce the opacity or change it so it's not exactly white but like the off-white of something at the top.
+Overlay mode almost never looks good for text, you almost made it work, but it really should be avoided instead.
 Your watermark stands out more than the title in my opinion, which should not be the case.
 
 
-The subtitles could be broken up into two, remove the align-left/right so you can move them around to be more flexible.
+
-Like maybe "there is more than" could curve around the thing at the top and "meets the eyes" could kind of curve between
+I'd recommend rotating the guy's face so it's more straight, and size him right so they look aligned together.
-the butterfly and the plant there. ask me if that didn't make sense, haha.
+The light flare if possible could be tilted to be completely straight. Take off the overlay mode on the title + author,
-The title could have a text style- like the author does, but subtle.
+and maybe have the text white- you could switch the layer effects with the watermark.
 The title and author white, and the watermark unbolded and on overlay.
 
-• Score: 9/10
+
-Reason: deduction for text
+• Score: 8/10
 Reason: deduction for alignment and text
