| 16 | ( CRITIQUE FROM JUDGE 1 ) @tropicolds : | |
| 17 | ||
| 18 | ||
| 19 | • Things I like: | |
| 20 | The models' placement, the text placement, the idea of having a black&white vs yellow contrast. | |
| 21 | The font used is suitable for this genre, it's good. | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | ||
| 24 | • Things I dislike: | |
| 25 | The blue hue. I think you made it black and white and applied a PSD at the end. | |
| 26 | Another thing that bothers me is the fact that a part of text is yellow, and the other part is white. | |
| 27 | I assume (again, correct me if I'm wrong) that you wanted to create some sort of correspondence between the | |
| 28 | yellow of the author's name and the yellow of the tapes. The fire looks like a vector or anyway LQ, | |
| 29 | it doesn't really suit a realistic cover. | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | - | Desaturate the entire blue part; choose one colour for text (either white or yellow, not both) and replace the fire image with a better image of a fire. |
| 31 | + | |
| 32 | • For improvement: | |
| 33 | Desaturate the entire blue part; choose one colour for text (either white or yellow, not both) | |
| 34 | and replace the fire image with a better image of a fire. | |
| 35 | ||
| 36 | ||
| 37 | • Score: 8/10 | |
| 38 | Reason: -0.5 for colors, -1 for text, -0.5 for pictures | |

| 46 | ( CRITIQUE FROM JUDGE 2 ) @impassively : | |
| 47 | ||
| 48 | ||
| 49 | • Things I like: | |
| 50 | I like the blending and the colors. the models mostly fit together, and I love how you set the couple to a blending mode. | |
| 51 | ||
| 52 | ||
| 53 | • Things I dislike: | |
| 54 | The crime scene tape looks a bit too bright- it caught my eye before anything else, and that should not be the case. | |
| 55 | The font for the title is very plain and looks like you didn't think about it before using it. | |
| 56 | The girl is blended out way too much- I can see her hair disappear into the buildings. | |
| 57 | The drop-shadow on the author is very harsh. | |
| 58 | ||
| 59 | ||
| 60 | - | Possibly unblend the girl a bit so she looks like the guy- he's not erased a lot. I'd recommend moving the watermark to the very bottom, and reducing the drop-shadow. |
| 60 | + | |
| 61 | Maybe get rid of one of the tape lines (probably the lowermost one), maybe blur them more and move it down. | |
| 62 | Make "silent flame" all one line instead of two, and use a more appealing font, like edition, or something that's not plain. | |
| 63 | Possibly unblend the girl a bit so she looks like the guy- he's not erased a lot. | |
| 64 | I'd recommend moving the watermark to the very bottom, and reducing the drop-shadow. | |
| 65 | Specifics are like a tiny bit blurred (2-3px blurred) and distance of like (1-2px) and opacity on less than 50%. | |
| 66 | I'd also think it looks nicer if you put some letter-spacing for the author, like you did for the watermark. | |
| 67 | ||
| 68 | ||
| 69 | • Score: 6/10 | |
| 70 | Reason: deduction for tape, font/text | |
