 ( CRITIQUE FROM JUDGE 1 ) @tropicolds :
 
 
-The colours, the placements, the text (but not entirely).
+
-I like your use of negative space, it guides the viewer's attention towards the model and the objects around it.
+Placements, colouring. This is a very nice texture-based cover.
-The contrasts are beautiful, I love the purple-orange combo. The subtitles are placed well, they create symmetry.
+I like how you chose a plain background and used a few brushes to bring the model in the centre of attention.
 I love the effects used for title, and the purple-orange contrast makes the cover less ordinary.
 
 
-The font used for title is good, but it looks weak compared to the rest of the cover, which is more "explosive".
+
-And it's a bit hard to read if it's in a thumbnail, for example.
+The watermark, some effects. The signature is in a totally different font and it draws attention unnecessarily.
 I also don't like the association of lens flare and grunge texture, they are opposites for me.
 
 
-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.
+ change the font of your watermark, and might look better if you remove the grunge texture.
-But it's just an opinion.
+
 
 • Score: 9/10
 Reason: -0.5 font, -0.5 texture
-Reason: -0.5 for text

 • Things I like:
 This is stunning. The textures are beautifully used and the effect you did with two halves is nice.
-I love pretty much everything about this cover. The subtle background, the textures, the sparkles, the objects, plants,
+The light flare is beautiful and really caught my eye.
-the butterflies, the cutting of the model, and the colors. the font is really good too! the coloring is really beautiful.
+The left eye is so beautiful, the way you brought out the *shine* (see what i did there).
-I love the purple vs yellow look.
+The colors and the psd are really good together.
 
 
 • 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.
+The red in the text while beautiful in the title, is a bit hard to read the author.
-The girl looks slightly over-saturated, but it's not too bad. The watermark is a little stark,
+The right eye looks blurrier than the left, but it could be due to the grid texture over it.
-maybe reduce the opacity or change it so it's not exactly white but like the off-white of something at the top.
+The watermark is a little too visible.
 
 
 • For improvement:
-The subtitles could be broken up into two, remove the align-left/right so you can move them around to be more flexible.
+Maybe change the author so it's just all white, or make the red brighter.
-Like maybe "there is more than" could curve around the thing at the top and "meets the eyes" could kind of curve between
+If the watermark is bolded, unbold it or lower the opacity of it.
-the butterfly and the plant there. ask me if that didn't make sense, haha.
+
-The title could have a text style- like the author does, but subtle.
+
 • Score: 9.5/10
 Reason: deduction for text
